Taking The Temperature Of Health Sciences Irs: A Survey And Analysis Of Medical Schools’ Institutional Repositories, Lisa A. Palmer, Daniel G. Kipnis, Ramune K. Kubilius

Lisa A. Palmer

Background: The proposal authors are health sciences librarians from three different medical schools who are conducting a survey of institutional repositories (IRs) in medical libraries and academic health centers. This presentation will highlight survey findings, identify challenges of sustaining open repositories for the health sciences community, and pinpoint trends in the medical and non-medical IR landscape.

Problem: The purpose of the authors’ research study is to establish a snapshot view of the institutional repository landscape specific to medical schools and academic health centers. We hope to gain a deeper understanding of the role, characteristics, and future plans of IRs in …

Repository Outreach: Engaging Partners Across Campus, Lisa A. Palmer

Lisa A. Palmer

Lisa Palmer, Institutional Repository Librarian at UMass Medical School, has developed excellent outreach strategies for working with faculty on grant-funded research support, including data management. In particular, she’ll discuss how she and her colleagues have leveraged the institutional repository in a collaboration with the UMass Center for Clinical and Translational Science on an NIH grant, and to support a Women’s Health Research grant from the National Library of Medicine.

Utility Players: A Library's Research Services Easily Integrate Into Translational Science Support, Sally A. Gore, Lisa A. Palmer

Lisa A. Palmer

Describes how an institutional repository of scholarly publications and other library services can be utilized to support the dissemination of translational science research by providing access to an institution's published research, collecting and archiving grey literature, publicizing individual and department collections, and measuring research impact via usage statistics.

Cultivating Scholarship: The Role Of Institutional Repositories In Health Sciences Libraries, Lisa A. Palmer

Lisa A. Palmer

The early promise of institutional repositories is beginning to bear fruit. Medical libraries with institutional repositories, like other academic libraries, have found that their repositories support new ways of engaging with researchers and meeting the challenges posed by the transformation in scholarly communication over the past decade exemplified by open access, the National Institutes of Health Public Access Policy, campus-based publishing, and the sharing of research data. Institutional repositories can grow and thrive in academic health sciences libraries and be a vital component in the provision of library services to faculty, researchers, staff, and students.
