Page 21: Upclibraries 2008  Marta

IT services

Bibliotècnica: The UPC Digital Library IT support (self learning centres, Teaching resources areas..) Participation in University e-learning projects Institutional Repositories Digitisation of local documents: e-books, dissertations, exams,

architectural plans, old collections, videos...

Page 22: Upclibraries 2008  Marta

To offer a tool for publishing academic works in electronic format

To organize and preserve UPC’s intellectual heritage

To greatly increase UPC’s visibility in the world

UPCommons: objectives

Page 23: Upclibraries 2008  Marta

Strategy: repositories

Separate repositories: E-prints: https://upcommons.upc.edu/e-prints/ University journals and congresses: https://upcommons.upc.edu/revistes/ Students’ work: https://upcommons.upc.edu/pfc/ Learning materials: http://e-md.upc.edu/home/ Videos: http://bibliotecnica.upc.edu/video/ Theses: http://www.tesisenxarxa.net/

Why did we decide to create different repositories?• To facilitate organization (one librarian is responsible for each repository) • To be able to fit different document data into metadata • To fully integrate with other university platforms (such as Virtual Campus, based

on Moodle and the Electronic Information Services for Academic Activity)

However• The cost of supporting repositories is higher• Content is dispersed

Page 24: Upclibraries 2008  Marta

https://upcommons.upc.edu/

Global access to UPC knowledge Metasearch in all UPC repositories Electronic documents and information about support services (how to

digitize a thesis, how to submit documents, etc.)

Strategy: access to all repositories

Page 25: Upclibraries 2008  Marta

Strategy: human resources

One computer technician for designing repositories and improving software.

One librarian responsible for content control and management of each repository.

In every UPC campus, there are librarians who: control and extend metadata feed-back between users and general services

Page 26: Upclibraries 2008  Marta

Strategy: repository support services

SEPI: Intellectual Property Service • Author rights • Copyright policies (including e-journals and Creative Commons)

Factories: teaching resource facilities • Convert traditional formats into digital formats (print journals, theses,

etc.)• Video digitization

Subject librarian:• Liaison with university departments for diffusion of the project and

training

Page 27: Upclibraries 2008  Marta

UPCOpenCourseWare (5.852 documents)http://e-md.upc.edu/home/

Inspired by MIT’s Open Course Ware Provides access to UPC’s course materials for educators and

students Not all its content is open access Not (yet) with a DSpace repository

Learning repositories: course materials

Page 28: Upclibraries 2008  Marta

Students’ work (2.051 documents)https://upcommons.upc.edu/pfc/

Students’ work (final degree projects, minor theses, recognition of foreign diplomas/theses, etc.) presented by university students at UPC.

Learning repositories: students’ work

Learning repositories: videos

Page 30: Upclibraries 2008  Marta

E-prints UPC (1199 pre-prints or post-prints)https://upcommons.upc.edu/e-prints/

The E-prints repository collects documents generated by academics in their research activities. Communities: schools, departments, laboratories or research groups. Workflow: Selfarchive (authors) Peer review (optional) Protect and extend metadatas (subject librarians)

Research repositories: E-prints

Page 31: Upclibraries 2008  Marta

UPC Journals and Congresses (3.419 articles)https://upcommons.upc.edu/revistes/

This repository compiles the full texts of e-journal articles and proceedings published by any scholar or research department of the university.

Conclusions

Page 33: Upclibraries 2008  Marta

Good acceptance, Good strategy, Collections are growing but… there’s still a lot of work to do

Conclusions

Page 34: Upclibraries 2008  Marta

Information Literacy program: Informa’t

The new European space of university education introduces the possibility of reframing the information skills that university students will have to acquire to become good professionals.

This new educative frame appears like an excellent opportunity to librarians to improve the collaboration with the educational staff.

Information literacy aims: to acquire (all students) the abilities to manage and to communicate the necessary information for the academic and professional success.

2 ways: • collaboration with some subjects • specific subject in IL
