The Nereus network The Nereus network 16 partners -- 9 countries16 partners -- 9 countries

The Nereus missionThe Nereus mission

• A network of libraries and institutions serving the economics community

• Institutions with high-rankings in economics

• Serving our clients by:– increasing visibility of their research – building added value services

• Serving the network by: – focussing on cost-efficiency and innovation– developing concrete products– maximising on knowledge-exchange structures

• Comprehensive index of electronic resources in economics

• Make economics and social sciences datasets more easily accessible

• Participation in JISC funded project : VERSIONS

• Feed the Sherpa/Romeo database with self-archiving and copyright policies of publishers

• Institutional repositories:– EO– NEEO

Current Nereus Current Nereus activitiesactivities

• Online access to the academic output of leading economists

• Outcome:– Search the publications of some of Europe’s

excellent economists– Dynamic publications list per participating

author, with full text links to final articles and open access content

• Figures: – Participating institutions: 6– Authors: 70– Bib. references: 7000– Open access FT: 2700

• Available at http://nereus.uvt.nl/eo _

EOEO

• Extend EO to all Nereus partners:– 16 institutions / 500 authors– + current academic output

• Increase quality of existing EO services, through:– Use of MPEG21/DIDL as metadata exchange format– Automated metadata enrichment

• New services:– Usage statistics– FT searching– Multilinguality– Integration with CKB– Version signposting tool– RSS feeds– …

• Obtain funding from EC through eContentPlus programme

Implementing an institutional Implementing an institutional repositoryrepository

Aspects of IR implementation

Project plan• Implementation plan

• Technical installation and developments• Copyright issues• Interoperability considerations (metadata

schemes, OAI, SRU)• Testing (including research community)• Added-value services

• Communication plan• Awareness raising: authorities, research

community, libraries• Making research community interested in the

concept of Open Access

• Business plan

Aspects of IR implementation

Integrating an IR in a university research environment• Seamless upload of documents to IR from

desktop publishing tools • Making central IR system live together with

central Research Management System• Making central IR system live together with

the several local researcher initiatives• Institutional bibliography as opposed to

institutional repository

Aspects of IR implementation

Submission workflow• Metadata validation

• Self-archiving + verification of (part of?) metadata by library

• Archiving done by library

• Scientific value• Should submitted items be validated by

faculty? How do you organise this?• Should deletions from IR be checked by

faculty?

Aspects of IR implementation

IR functionalities• Authentication of submitters• Unambiguous identification of (co-)authors

• Institutional / national DAI• Collection structure of an IR

• Per faculty? Per department?• Multi-institution

• Maintaining a bibliography• Not just deposit, but also edit and delete

• Classification of documents• Discipline-based ontologies• “funding body” ontologies

• Integrate authority lists / files• Ingest from external resources

• Offline• Online

• Automated enhancement of metadata• Versioning, relationships, accessibility of:

• Object files of an item• Different items

• De-duplication of items• Intra-IR• Inter-IR

Aspects of IR implementation

Content dissemination• Integration of publications list into

researcher’s CVs• Export toolkit (reference format, filters on

document types, filters on metadata fields, sort, output format (XML, CSV, HTML,…) )

• Integration into PBMS (EndNote, RefWorks, BibTex,…)

• Integrate into web pages (researcher, department, university bibliography,…)

• Integrate into library portal• Automated propagation of metadata to:

• discipline-based repositories• Google(s)

• Overlay journals
