Some conclusions:
Institutional RepositoriesInstitutional RepositoriesA Review of Content Recruitment StrategiesA Review of Content Recruitment Strategies
• The ego factor works!
• Learn to speak the language of the research community
• Don’t rely on the researcher for self-archiving? (be prepared to find and deposit items, assign metadata and check copyright agreements)
Access Preconference, 2006Access Preconference, 2006
Some more conclusions:
Institutional RepositoriesInstitutional RepositoriesA Review of Content Recruitment StrategiesA Review of Content Recruitment Strategies
• Content recruitment costs money.
• The most effective strategy is to mandate archiving, but even with that, IR staff must expect to continue to actively recruit and assist in depositing.
• Short-term strategies work in the short term only. Sustainable solutions require long-term commitments.
