Background: Faculty at Central Washington University (CWU) were not depositing and preserving their research articles in the University Institutional Repository (IR), so an alternative method to identify and include faculty scholarship in the IR was developed. Librarians used the Web of Science to discover articles published by the CWU faculty and then deposited them in the IR.
Analysis: Thousands of articles written by CWU faculty were located and deposited. This project increased interaction with the IR from outside the library and the university beyond any expectations.
Conclusion and implications: This was a successful project, but it required a useful interface to locate the metadata and librarians with highly technical skills.
Résumé
Contexte: Les facultés à Central Washington University (CWU) ne déposaient ni ne preservaient leurs articles de recherche au dépôt institutionnel, alors une méthode alternative d’identifier et inclure la bourse de la faculté dans ce dernier a été développé. Les documentalistes utilisaient le Web of Science pour découvrir les articles publiés pa la faculté de CWU et ensuite les déposer au dépôt institutionnel.
Analyse: Des milliers d’articles écrits par la faculté de CWU on été retrouvé et déposé. Ce projet a augmenté considérablement les interactions externes avec le dépôt institutionnel.
Conclusion et implications: Ce projet fut un succès mais nécessiterait d’utiliser une interface permettant de localiser les metadata et les documentalistes grâce à de grandes compétences techniques.
