“…Authors writing on the potential contributions of archivists to institutional repository management typically focus on content selection, content acquisition and digital preservation (Walters, 2007;Sauer, 2009;Yakel, Rieh, St. Jean, Markey, & Kim, 2008). Walters also points to archivists' familiarity in dealing with access restrictions and developing retention schedules, while Sauer discusses donor relations.…”

In the interest of providing access to and preserving scholarship produced by faculty, students and staff, many universities have developed and implemented institutional repositories. Repositories are often organized into communities that correspond to campus units, including departments, research centers and institutes, and administrative offices. Universities, however, frequently undergo academic restructuring, which can make repository organization out of sync with university organization. This article addresses the impact of academic restructuring on repositories and looks to practices from archival arrangement and description to create repository organizational structures and community descriptions flexible enough to reflect university organization, despite changes arising from academic restructuring.

“…Doug Bicknese (2004) states that "[a]rchivists' experience in selecting records of enduring value" (p. 88) is an argument in favor of seeking their help. In a later report, the findings of a 2006 Census of four-year college and university repository content 4 were analyzed by a team of investigators at University of Michigan (Yakel, Soo, Jean, Markey, & Kim, 2008).…”

“…Archivists represented a small percentage (3%) of the 446 respondents, however, they and other respondents reported archivists' involvement in repository work from pilot testing through implementation stages (p. 330-33), including the identification of content (p. 347). Yakel et al (2008) also found that much of the archival content being included in repositories was digitized material, rather than born-digital, and that repository architecture lacked the ability to relate data in a way that reflects its hierarchical relationship to other records of the institution. To address this issue, Yakel's group recommended that archivists play a role in developing repository systems that have the ability to provide this kind of context (p. 347).…”

From the 2007 implementation of Illinois Wesleyan University’s institutional repository (IR), an archivist and special collections librarian and a scholarly communications librarian have worked on its development and expansion from each position’s unique perspective. They have found themselves united on some fronts, but divided at times on big picture questions such as the definition of campus culture and the extent to which the IR should contain products of that culture, how best to describe and structure collections, and who should be responsible for certain collections. Through regular dialogue on these concerns and efforts to understand each other’s perspective, the colleagues’ joint interest in promoting and preserving a broad history of campus culture is being achieved. Examples of how these issues are navigated, recommendations for realizing similar outcomes, and insights into the work remaining are provided

“…Institutional repositories also vary in their selection policies and, particularly in the United States, collections in institutional repositories represent a wide range of born digital and digitized material beyond peer-reviewed articles and electronic theses and dissertations. 1 As more scholarship is produced digitally and the cultural and intellectual resources of institutions are digitized, institutional repositories are seeing an ever-expanding source of content. In cases where this material is added to institutional repositories by repository or library staff and not by authors, the opportunity for an increasing flow of content is accompanied by the challenge of the metadata creation required to make that content accessible.…”

A n institutional repository, as both a software platform and a set of services, collects, organizes, preserves, and disseminates the digital output of an institution. The method of populating an institutional repository or adding digital content and associated metadata, varies by repository. Repositories may employ one or more deposit methods depending on their archiving and collection policies, the communities they serve, and repository staffing levels and resources. Deposit methods can include unmediated author (or his or her proxy) self-archiving, author (or his or her proxy) self-archiving mediated by repository staff, repository staff archiving on behalf of authors, and automated batch loading performed by repository staff. Institutional repositories also vary in their selection policies and, particularly in the United States, collections in institutional repositories represent a wide range of born digital and digitized material beyond peer-reviewed articles and electronic theses and dissertations.1 As more scholarship is produced digitally and the cultural and intellectual resources of institutions are digitized, institutional repositories are seeing an ever-expanding source of content. In cases where this material is added to institutional repositories by repository or library staff and not by authors, the opportunity for an increasing flow of content is accompanied by the challenge of the metadata creation required to make that content accessible.One way to address the challenge of creating metadata for institutional repositories is to repurpose (reuse) existing Machine-Readable Cataloging (MARC) metadata. Libraries have a wealth of descriptive metadata encoded in the MARC format in their library catalogs. Taking advantage of this robust legacy metadata and extending its semantic and descriptive value into new discovery environments and formats is an essential component of successful metadata management in today's heterogeneous metadata environment.2 Repurposing library catalog metadata is 34 Walsh LRTS 55 (1) has not been discussed in the literature.11
