Event ALCTS Webinar on Institutional Repositories: Bringing Research Data into the Library: Expanding the Horizons of Institutional Repositories, MacKenzie Smith, Associate Director for Technology, MIT Libraries
by Pamela Bluh on Wed, 10/28/2009 - 5:24am
The focus of Library-managed Institutional Repositories has so far been on document-like items (published articles, preprints, theses, reports, working papers, etc.) but there is growing demand to expand their use into new genres such as scientific research datasets (sensor readings, genomics data, neuroimages, etc.). The presentation will explain how IRs are including this type of collection, what librarians need to know in order to manage such collections, and a few case studies from the MIT Libraries.
Tuesday, November 10, 2009 at 2pm Eastern, 1pm Central, noon Mountain, and 11am Pacific time
