On Wednesday, April 20th, Rod Library will be hosting two presentations on the bepress Digital Commons, an institutional repository software currently being reviewed by UNI, at 11:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. in Rod Library Room 324. These sessions will be conducted by bepress representatives. They are being held as a follow-up to the survey on institutional repositories conducted in December 2010.
An institutional repository would provide UNI with a means to build a centralized, web-based collection of digital versions of research and scholarly products for which authors have retained selected rights. A repository can enhance accessibility, serve as a preservation tool, and highlight the research and scholarship occurring at the university. Additional information about institutional repositories and links to readings on the topic is available at http://www.library.uni.edu/scholarly-communication/institutional-repository [1]
