UR Research at the University of Rochester: an Institutional Repository case study.
Suzanne Bell, Univerity of Rochester.
Institutional Repositories – Activities
· Collection
· Organization
· Categorization
· Sharing, Providing access
· Preservation
Look to the mission of the college/university - Research OR Teaching & Learning
REASONS WHY FACULTY/STUDENTS MIGHT WANT PARTICIPATE IN AN INSTITUTIONAL REPOSITORY
· To be seen, googled and be cited. They like open access.
· To impress the admin/ get tenure
· To safeguard and preserve work
· Ability to give out links rather than hand out papers to interested colleagues.
· As a way to attract future students
· For students : to build an online portfolio
OBVIOUS AND EASY COLLECTIONS:
· Faculty theses and Dissertations
· Student star papers (e.g. Civil War or Cape Cod History papers can be instructive to future students)
· Departments with a history of Grey Literature ( poetry, etc written by students and faculty)
· Multimedia: theatre productions, lectures, events.
· Commencements & memorabilia
· Special projects or initiatives unique to the institution.
· Publications: Newsletters, annual reports
· Institutional Research : statistical reports
· Administrative staff “institutional memory” papers or documents are often very interesting.
· Student research posters, presentations. Aesthetic project capstone.
POLICIES:
Need easy to understand, simple policies.
Open access or available only on site an important consideration, though open access can benefit.
SOME IDEAS
You might personalize the Institutional Repository
· Researcher pages.
· Theme pages
· Check the Hit Counters
FUNDING!
IMLS grants are great and easy to get!
UR got one even for an anthropologist to study the IR!

Academic Libraries have Friends (and Donors!) Thursday 10am
Academic Libraries have Friends (and Donors!) Thursday 10am
Emily Silverman Director of Library Development and Communication http://www.library.umass.edu/giving/howtogive.html UMass Amherst
Jay Schaeffer University of Massachusetts - Amherst. Director of Libraries http://www.library.umass.edu/
This series on library advocacy is underwritten jointly by MLA and ACRL.
Umass Amherst has 49 staff.
Silverman reaches out to alums. They have had a FRIENDS of the DUBOIS LIBRARY organization since the 70’s
Tips from Emily:
1. Believe in yourself - Her belief: this library is valuable, unique, does something that no other campus entity can, keeps evolving
2. Look like a winner – They changed from a “Woe is us” attitude in budget downturns. Quit whining.
3. Ask ask ask
4. Who do you know?
LOOK LIKE A WINNER
Some innovations with that CAN DO attitude which help U Mass
Creation of LEARNING COMMONS - open 24/5 hrs some days, landscaping, plantings, natural light http://www.umass.edu/learningcommons/ with the support of admin, writing center, career services, to bring about the concept of the learning commons to implement all kinds of services withing the library. http://www.umass.edu/learningcommons/lcfactsheet.pdf
There are workstation clusters, lots of light. Café called Procrastination Station. Individual and group seating. New policies. You can eat in the CAFÉ , we can staff 24hrs. Quiet study 2nd floor. Cellphone booths (funky red tubes where you can do your cellphone calls), laptop loaner program, digital repository) 600,000 to 1.2 million users in the last few years = potential DONORS
The LEARNING COMMONS was selected by the 50th reuion for Class of 1955 gift Library renovate one side of the library with landscaping, 1957 3 other sides for a pedestrian commons + an ongoing maintenance gift.
They sell a library mug, publicity is just a 8.5X11 trifold. They are not an official 501c organization. Members who donate $25 or more receive library FRIENDS newsletter, annual report and events. The newsletter is now few words, lots of pictures.
Creation of the courtyard gardens in the center of the library.
Ongoing Assessment
Surveys of users and nonusers, focus groups, events, information communication.
They let people know that they have taken their suggestions to heart.
ASK ASK ASK
They have defined their potential donors. Alums, Admin, Fac, Collectors of all kinds of things, Busines leaders. Some institutions look to parents of students.
They have worked with their retiring Faculty. Huge cohort of recently retired. The help them with their own personal libraries, ideas for giving their treasures to libraries when they are ready to downsize.
They look to alums for all kinds of fun realia. Freshman beenies, etc. http://www.library.umass.edu/giving/
Events http://www.library.umass.edu/dinner/ Had talk from famous alums, Jane Yolen. Ken Turan, Boston Antiquarian International Book Fair.
Business sponsorships for FRIENDS fundraising events.
The Second ASK. Any donors to UMass Amherst get in the Spring, a handsome note, asking for a second gift devoted to the library.
Bursar bills have a $65 “give to the library” addons.
They have some ENDOWMENT FUNDS.
http://www.library.umass.edu/giving/endowments.html
21st Century Library Technology Fund to support technology and infrastructure initiatives
Friends of the Library Endowment Fund to build the collections.
John W. Bennett Labor History Collection Endowment
Ann Elder Bestor Memorial Library Endowment for Business Reference for business reference materials
Howard E. and Margaret E. Barr Bigelow Endowed Fund for the Life Sciences Collection for biological sciences and geosciences journals
Randolph W. Bromery Library Endowment Fund to support initiatives that enhance the legacy of W.E.B. Du Bois, and to encourage academic scholarship that builds upon the contributions of the W.E.B. Du Bois Papers and related collections
Library Archive Fund for the preservation and restoration of archives
Oswald Tippo Library Endowment Fund for the acquisition of exceptional materials that enrich the scholarly collections
Veli W. and Ida G. L. Wallenius Library Endowment Fund for the acquisition of library materials and support of library programs representative of diverse cultures
Since the learning commons, donors have decided to fund technology and facility rather than just collections...
They have turned that joke /dog of a library into a benefit.
JAY SCHAEFFER – LIBRARY DIRECTOR
Recognizing donors. U Mass sends letters to donors $100 or more.
SMALL donors need to be recognized too. That’s good stewardship. They now send a colorful little Post card with students on the front.
There’s a difference between Donors and Friends. Friends often support the library philosophically, but they are not big givers.
NOBODY EVER GRADUATED FROM A LIBRARY,
BUT NOBODY EVER GRADUATED WITHOUT ONE
There is a “Director’s Council” These are people who are interested in advocating for support for the library. They are personal donors of at least $1000 to the library. Some have friends who are major donors for the library.
Parting shot from Jan Schaeffer: Always respect EVERY donation. Be visble, be sociable, be an advocate.

Positioning the Academic Library for the 21st Century: a New Model of Library Centrality. Thursday, May 8 8:30
Positioning the Academic Library for the 21st Century: a New Model of Library Centrality. Thursday, May 8 8:30
KEYNOTE ADDRESS
Susan Parker, Ph.D. Deputy University Librarian and CFO UCLA library. Research interest: the role of the academic library
Susan C. Scrimshaw, President, Simmons College, formerly dean of the U of IL at Chicago School of Public health. Research interest: gender, ethnicity, race, culture and their impact on public health.
This series on library advocacy is underwritten jointly by MLA and ACRL.
The 16 second elevator speech. If you had an administrator all to yourself for 16 seconds, what would you discuss: Budget, How busy the library is, Library is the heart of the University, How to improve outcomes.??????
What does Library is the heart of the University mean to YOU. What does it mean to your administrators. Does it transfer enough to realize actual resource support???
THE CENTRALITY of the LIBRARY is a value The Library contributes so fundamentally to the success of the University that it is absolutely central
TWO SEMINAL RESEARCH SOURCES ON THE CENTRALITY OF THE LIBRARY IN THE UNIVERSITY
1. Hackman’s research : Power and centrality in the allocation of resources in colleges and universities; Hackman, Judith Administrative Science Quarterly; 1985 Vol. 30, p61-77, 17p. She divided University units: Core and Peripheral and assessed How well units connected with the mission
2. Grimes’ 1998 book: Academic Library Centrality; Grimes, Deborah Jean; 1998, Chicago : Association of College and Research Libraries.
MODERN RESEARCH
Susan Parker’s own article: She and 6 others surveyed 6 public institutions, interviewed 6 University Presidents, 6 University provosts: “What does Library is the heart of the University mean to you?”
Attitudes of Presidents and Provosts on the University Library. By: Lynch, Beverly P.; Murray-Rust, Catherine; Parker, Susan E.; Turner, Deborah; Walker, Diane Parr; Wilkinson, Frances C.; Zimmerman, Julia. College & Research Libraries, May2007, Vol. 68 Issue 3, p213-227, 15p; (AN 25301281) EBSCO persistent link http://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&db=lxh&AN=25301281&site=ehost-live Cited References (5)
Authors: Lynch, Beverly P.1 bplynch@ucla.edu; Murray-Rust, Catherine2 Catherine.Murray-Rust@ColoState.edu; Parker, Susan E.3 sparker@library.ucla.edu; Turner, Deborah4 urned@u.washington.edu; Walker, Diane Parr5 dpw@virginia.edu; Wilkinson, Frances C.6 fwilkins@unm.edu; Zimmerman, Julia7 Zimnmerj1@ohio.edu
Parker et al. FINDINGS on the Centrality of the Library @ the University
Metaphor. heart of the University
Standards and Technology. Information literacy instruction/ technology
Mission: connection of the library to the university’s mission. Does that factor in funding? Parker claims there is a DIRECT
Research allocation: does favorable or unfavorable benchmark marks with other instituion affect
Indicators of Centrality:
One provost: “Library is the LIFEBLOOD”
It’s the psychological center of what it means to BE the University”
A Marketing Slogan. Something the Library Director
It is time to upgrade the criteria and look at libraries in a different mode
Top 3 indicators of Centrality in Parker’s study
1. LIBRARY’S ABILITY TO OBTAIN OUTSIDE FUNDING
2. VISIBILITY AND LEADERSHIP ON CAMPUS
3. CIRCULATION/INTERLIBRARY LOAN STATISTICS
Other values
4. TECHNOLOGY INNOVATION
5. QUALITY OF PERSONNEL
6. QUALITY OF SERVICE TO THE UNIVERSITY (and by extension, its community)
This suggests a new model of Centrality:
Increased visibility for the library in service to the University
Outside funding
Develop strategic goals that reflect the larger university mission and its values
Collaboration within and without the institution. Other units, other colleges, academic departments, individual faculty
A 2008 study by Judy Luther (President, Informed strategies) is well worth reading
White Paper
· University Investment in the Library: What's the Return? A Case Study at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign 2008, by Judy Luther, President, Informed Strategies ( HTML PDF)
Focus was on grantwriting. The study actually came up with a monetary “return on investment”
OLD STRATEGIES
· Describe the library’s measurable contributions to the institution. Circ statistics etc. Lately, add electronic resources/information literacy to the mix of statistics.
NEW STRATEGIES
· Determine and understand what the university values
o Examples at UCLA: Faculty retention, research grants, demonstrable impact on the institution & community
· Speak clearly and compellingly about the library’s contribution toward enhancing or furthering those values
o SOME libraries even hire lobbyists. Umass has a parttime lobbyist.
A CONVERSATION between Scrimshaw and Parker ON “WHAT IS THE LIBRARY???”
Traditional view. The library was a place where physical items resided, were collected, cataloged, preserved.
Modern view.
Clients LEARN how to access, but also get HELP in accessing. Faculty and students guided strategic access.
The library is the GATHERING part of the campus. For study, to discuss together. Meaning: gathering rooms with access to resources, quiet reading spots with comfortable chairs. This has big implications for the architecture.
STRATEGY – for working with Administrators. Advice from Scrimshaw:
Find a way to get key decisionmakers to have an EXPERIENCE in the library. Reports don’t cut it.
· Reference engagement
· Information literacy
Find excuses to show archives and access.
Question for an Scrimshaw as a University President: What impacts your decisions about funding the library? What influences resource allocation?
More requests than money. What criteria do I use in allocating money to the library?
· Inflation in subscription maintenance
· Incremental services: adding to collections (documenting the impact would be great, however, how can one measure the increase in student productivity, faculty productivity?)
· Role of the librarian. Look at where the conversations are held? Library Director should report to the provost table with the deans who are competing for the same money.
· Look at data points: use student satisfaction surveys, LibQual, use Benchmarking with sister institutions.
How can libraries be protected in tough budget times? A Question for President Scrimshaw.
In budget reductions, some institutions protect library resources. UIL @Chicago did. Scrimshaw supported digitizing art resources for example as a strategy. Access to information needs to be protected for the good of ALL the instructional efforts on campus and off.
Comments from Scrimshaw
Antiquated libraries need to be redesigned to accommodate the new paradigm, listening VERY CAREFULLY to the user community. The Simmons library: people have coffee, it’s abuzz with energy and activity.
What about Information Literacy? How should libraries set themselves up to make an impact?
Provide “short courses” for faculty and students tailored to specific literacy skills.
Question for Parker re: her team’s research conversation with Presidents and Provosts: Most surprising comment by a College President: “You people are badgering me for money all the time..” Scariest moment. Obvious that the President had not experienced the library, did not personally use.
What was the Best Elevator speech either Parker and Scrimshaw have heard?
· Staff member chased Parker into the elevator, gave her an idea on paper about how we can deploy our workstation resources and save $50,000.
· 2 days ago Scrimshaw met archivist who is cataloging Martin Luther King’s papers @ BU, talking about the incredible power of the letters… how it made her feel to see and hold a letter from Medgar Evers to Martin Luther King. Powerful moment for Scrimshaw to see what the long lasting contributions of librarians/archival work to scholarship for the future. Worth the money!
ADVICE: There are costs to partnering, but it’s often well worth it.
