Medical Institutional Repositories In A Changing Scholarly Communications Landscape, Daniel Kipnis, Lisa Palmer, Msls, Ahip

Heather J Martin, MISt, AHIP

What to do when designing a repository for an institution that doesn’t already have a predefined structure or taxonomy by which to organize or make ‘browsable’ your collections?
