Queen Mary Research Online: launched at last!
3:23 pm in Uncategorized by Sarah Molloy
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 am hopeful that things will start to appear. We currently have approximately 1000 items somewhere in the repository (some embargoed, some in the workflow, some openly available; including eTheses), not bad for a year’s graft.
Not one for resting on my laurels, I am now investigating ways to improve the searching, browsing and more ways to reuse the data/linking. We might also make a few modest tweaks to the interface on the admin side so that managing items is easier. If you’re a DSpacer and have made improvements to the workflow or reporting, please do tell!
