“…Most of the literature about IR assessment does focus on collecting and reporting quantitative metrics to help make the case for IR value, "Metrics for repositories can be used to provide a better understanding of how repositories are being used, which can help to inform policy decisions on future investment" . A 2011 study of several high-profile IR reported that "assessment measures are still being developed," but that "most institutions found it easier to develop quantitative measures of success [including] the number of requests" (Campbell-Meier, 2011). Others also reinforce that specific measures based on quantifiable data will resonate, even if those reports must be customized to the audience.…”

“…Global research suggests that the growth of OAIR in Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) has increased significantly with the implementation of an open source initiative in the field of scholarly communication and software development (Campbell-Meier 2011). Campbell-Meier adds that the demand for OAIR has increased as a result of improvements in scholarly communication models and the need to develop.…”

The aim of this article was to develop a model for the usage of Open Access Institutional Repositories (OAIR) in university libraries in Ghana. The article adopted the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), which was then modified to fit the study. The variables were adapted to improve the fit between data and the theoretical model, keeping the characteristics of TAM. Accessibility, availability and visibility were proposed in addition to the conventional variables of TAM. Positivist paradigm, quantitative methods research and survey design were used for the study. Simple random sampling and stratified random sampling were the sampling procedures and methods employed. A total of 998 respondents completed the questionnaires distributed. The questionnaire was used as a research instrument to gather relevant data for the study. Descriptive statistics (frequencies, percentages, means and standard deviation) and inferential statistics (multinomial logistic regression and Confirmatory Factor Analysis [CFA], using structural equation modelling [SEM]) were used as statistical tools to analyse the data. The study developed an OAIR Usage Model, which would be instrumental in the usage of OAIR in university libraries in Ghana. The model will enhance both user satisfaction and intention to reuse the OAIR, and make OAIR research outputs available, accessible and visible. This article adds to the body of literature on OAIR, as it is used in university libraries.

“…In Campbell-Meier (2011), the author examined case studies where the IR developers with ETDs found the relationship with the graduate division was crucial to the success of the ETD implementation. This type of partnership places the responsibility of IR submissions on the graduate division and the students submitting their ETDs as a graduation requirement.…”

“…Faculty are also a potential submitter of IR content but the library liaison relationship is not developed the same way as it was with the graduate division and ETD project. Content identification and recruitment is a new role that some liaison librarians are not comfortable with (Campbell-Meier, 2011) but is one possible solution to a faster increase of non-ETD IR content. Discussions library liaisons facilitate with faculty about the IR, including perceived benefits, may help market and recruit faculty participation.…”

Purpose The purpose of this case study is to illustrate how a university library collaborated with a specific college to preserve scholarship with a sustainable approach. The practical process described is recommended for increasing content submissions in a newly established institutional repository. Of the eight colleges at Middle Tennessee State University (MTSU), the Honors College was selected as a case study for a library–college collaboration on content curation for the institutional repository that is maintained by MTSU’s Walker Library. Design/methodology/approach Concept of shared and divided responsibilities for the upload, maintenance and sustainability of institutional repository submissions based on a particular case study and aided with literature on data management, digital publishing, library publishing and preservation research. Findings The partner approach, the sharing and division of responsibilities, is instrumental to the growth and sustainability of a library publishing program and for the preservation of university scholarship. Practical implications The (college) partner approach not only educates campus units about a new resource (e.g. institutional repository), but also encourages campus units to rethink other current and outdated practices that need to adapt to technological changes that support the unit and its students. This approach will help the library with campus outreach after an institutional repository is implemented and offers guidance on a collaborative approach to repository submission growth. Originality/value This paper suggests a (college) partner approach that mutually benefits the College and its students, departments and the library that maintains the institutional repository on behalf of the university. During the implementation process of this case study, an Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)/accessibility compliance issue of repository items surfaced and allowed for a new course of action to be taken campus wide which adds to the originality of this case study.
