IAMSLIC
Marine Science Cross Archive Search Service?
Outline proposal (simplistic!)
•IAMSLIC members implement institutional e-Print archives
•OAI registration
•IAMSLIC set up cross archive search service
•Harvest members metadata provide search engine and
interface
•IAMSLIC Marine Science Aggregator
We can do it !
Precedent IAMSLIC Z39.50 Distributed Library
e-Print archives can provide free open access to the
worlds research literature
Who Benefits?
Researchers profile
Evidence of increased citation rate
(Lawrence Nature Webdebates)
Institutions profile
visibility
Library profile
Embedded in research process

e-Prints : variable definitions
• Subject based archives - original scope : Peer-reviewed articles
• Institutional repositories – whole spectrum of interpretations
– Broad output – research + learning + datasets + multimedia +
internal admin documents etc (MIT)
– Southampton
• e-Prints
are electronic copies of any research output
(journal article, book section, conference paper, technical report, image etc.)
– preprints – unpublished papers before they are
refereed
– postprints – papers after they have been refereed
What are Open archives?
• Electronic repository of e-Prints, usually
internet based for free access and dissemination
• Both Institutional and discipline based archives
that allow public access to content and employ
the Open Archive Initiative Metadata Harvesting
Protocol
• nb. e-Print archives non OAI registered but still
‘open’
The OAI defines two participants
• Data Providers adopt the OAI technical framework as a
means of exposing metadata about their content (held in
repositories)
– OAI conformant
– OAI registered
– OAI namespace-registered
• Service Providers harvest metadata from Data Providers
using the OAI protocol and use the metadata as the basis for
value added services
• Conceptually different but in reality Data Providers can offer
both a service directly to users and also metadata for
automated harvesters data providers need to offer value
added services as well

Benefits of an Institutional Repository
•Provides Institutional information asset management
•Defines Institutional sources of research
•Identifies Institutions value to funding sources
•Raises the profile of the Institution
• Institutional research more visible, more impact and available in
electronic form
– cited more (Lawrence: Nature)
•Contributes to national and global initiatives which will ensure an
international audience for Institution’s latest research.
• (Other universities are developing their own archives which,
together, will be searchable by global search tools)
•Libraries can take a lead role – raises profile

What you need to do to set up an
Institutional Repository
• Policy decisions
– Scope
– Who can contribute
– One repository or
individual – structure or
media type
•
•
•
•
Software
Server
IT Skills
Library Support
• Configuration
– software – look and feel
– Metadata for each
document type
– Mandatory fields
– File formats
– Subject hierarchies
– Quality control
• OAI registration
Deposit Process by researcher

• The Administrator quality controls
– Metadata
– File upload
• Transfers metadata and related files into the repository
