Summary

From planning to promoting and everything in between, this new How-To-Do-It Manual fills the need for a book focused on managing your institutional repository (IR). The author covers every aspect of IR development in detail, and the book's clear adn logical organization makes it valuable as a cover-to-cover read or for consulting as a reference. Following an in-depth look into IR uses, benefits, and management practices, there is start-to-finish guidance covering: the librarian's role in IR implementation; planning, budgeting, and staffing; commercial and open source platforms; policy writing; marketing techniques; collection development and expansion; and use and assessment. An experience IR coordinator himself, Nabe also includes real-life examples of IR development from respected academic libraries, including Cornell University, Colorado State University, and Macalester College. Each one offers expert advice and best practices that you can replicate in your own project.
