Scholarbank@Nus: Bank Deposits That Grow Constantly, Building Knowledge For The Future, Kim Kee Toh, Stephanie Yen Ping Ng
2013 Institutional Repository Day
In response to the open access movement, National University of Singapore implemented ScholarBank@NUS, the institutional repository in April 2010. Investment in resources to collect, preserve and make NUS’ scholarly output accessible to the world is considerable but worthwhile. Our initial deposits were students’ electronic theses and dissertations (ETD). An interface was developed to automatically transfer the theses from the Registrar's Office's ETD system. From ETD, we moved on to staff publications, music recordings and patents. Harvesting of staff publications (mainly journal articles and conference papers) is a huge challenge.

From Conception To Reality: Building A Successful Ir At Utah State University, Richard W. Clement
2013 Institutional Repository Day
Utah State University's conception for its institutional repository has been broad from the outset. Our vision has extended far beyond depositing copies of ETDs and collecting previously published peer-reviewed faculty articles, though these remain important components. We recognized and envisioned a broad continuum of scholarly content created on campus that would benefit from the greater access and visibility afforded by deposit in an IR. This continuum ranges from the University Press and scholarly journals to the reports of the Agricultural Extension Service and the technical reports of the Utah Water Laboratory to student research posters, and much more. We also …
