    Bernard Scaife wrote a new blog post: EPrints irstats versus Google Analytics   1 month, 1 week ago · View

    ThumbnailI am being asked about statistics which is never a good thing. We have both the traditional IRstats package running and are using Google Analytics on our repository. However, they appear to give different results and we’d like to know why so we can get a better understanding of what is being counted. GA has been [...]

    So, did we fix the bug? Did we even find the source? In a word, no. We’re still working on it. But, the lovely IT people did set up a ‘clean up’ of the database on an ad hoc basis so that we could keep the duplication down until we worked out where it was [...]

    Arms-length integration, on the other hand – via feeds, SWORD, OAI etc – can be interesting… https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/8sWCiwBKHd-F3_kA3I-1bQ?feat=directlink

    I’m probably not the right person to ask about DSpace development…

    thanks Richard! Yes, we originally used the xmlui, and then switched to the default jspui because we didn’t have the expertise in-house to work on the interface (which isn’t so user friendly I don’t think). Having seen the xmlui implemented at Exeter though, I’m wondering if we made the right choice (I think my IT [...]

    Well done Sarah! BTW, did you know you also have the alternative DSPace XML theme available (https://qmro.qmul.ac.uk/xmlui/). Personally I prefer this to the default. ;)

    It’s been a long time coming, and I have to admit that sometimes I didn’t think we’d get there; but at last Queen Mary (UoL) finally has a publicly accessible institutional repository, Queen Mary Research Online .  Hurrah! Our collections are somewhat modest so far (but 100% full content), but now that I have something to demonstrate, [...]

    I thought I’d post an update on the state of play with QMRO. We’re currently working on a bug that is causing items to be assigned to the same Collection in DSpace twice.  The result is that a duplicate link appears in the Collections index for the item pointing to the same URL.  Not only [...]

    Went to the RSP-organised: ’Communication Skills for Effective Advocacy’ workshop in Manchester last week. Really useful stuff, mostly a revision of things I’ve covered elsewhere, but some new ideas and thoughts. It’s always good to find others having the same conversations with their academics!

    Hello, can anyone advise please? We are introducing ours in October and are looking for obvious (and not so obvious) ways to go about making it public knowledge without becoming tub-thumping annoyances…
    Any experiences will be gratefully listened to!

    Thanks,

    Hi Paul. Needless to say we did more than a bit of this when we ported SAS-Space from DSpace to EPrints. Simplest way depends where you are starting from and how many files you’ve got. You could start with a spreadsheet, with one row of metadata per item (including the PDF file name), and it [...]

    Two bits of news just passed through my Tweetdeck that I thought worth sharing, in case any of you missed them. The JISC Repositories Support Project is surveying the UK research repository scene. and has an online questionnaire aimed at repository managers. You can find out more about it on the RSP Blog (and maybe even win [...]

    After attending the R4R readiness for REF event last week I’ve become curious as to what others are doing in preparation for the REF and how and if they will be using their repository to support it. Would anyone be happy to share their plans or non plans and has anyone conducted any ’dry runs’?
