Slide2Dartmouth CollegeFounded 1769. Ivy League institution.
6,300 students (4,200 undergraduates)
1,045 faculty.

ndergraduate teaching (US News & World Report ranking).
Slide3Background: LibraryRobust Digital Library Program, including digital publishing of journals and
ebooks
.
Active role in open access on campus, leading to May
2015 Dartmouth Faculty Open Access
Policy (sponsored by the Council on the Libraries).
Good relationships with faculty and Information Technology Services (ITS).
Strong curatorial interests regarding Dartmouth scholarship.
Slide4Background: InstitutionInstitutional goal to increase awareness of Dartmouth
research globally.
No institutional repository -- some department repositories (computing).
No faculty profile system -- uneven updating of faculty web pages.
No central database of faculty scholarly output.
Slide5The Service OpportunityTwo years ago we prioritized the opportunity to build coordinated campus
infrastructure to manage research and drive new services.
Strong relationship with ITS – library not going it alone – presented as a joint initiative from the beginning.
Builds on recent ITS investments in robust identity management (Oracle).
No legacy systems to work round, replace, or ignore
.
Yeehah

Slide6New Campus Infrastructure
Fedora/Hydra for Dartmouth Academic Commons.
Fedora/Hydra for Dartmouth Digital Library.
Symplectic
Elements for citation management services.
Slide7Library/ITS Co-investmentTwo full time staff positions from ITS: project director and programmer.
Digital Scholarship Librarian being hired now.
Existing Director of
Digital Resources and Scholarly Communications
in lead role.
Significant commitment from library technologists, metadata specialists, preservation librarian, and subject specialists.
Joint budget for licensed software, etc.
Slide8Service FocusMarket the service, not the infrastructure: Faculty members quick to see advantages of research management services for annual reports, grants submissions, etc
.
Something for everyone: OA skeptics can still benefit from citation management or data management plans for grants.
High touch – much done for you, and no mandatory requirements with which to comply.
Slide9Faculty AssessmentLibrary and ITS can demonstrate possibilities
and opportunities.
We don
’
t own the issue.
Faculty unease about some types of productivity measure.
Needs deep faculty conversations about individual assessment, and policy decisions by campus administration.
Slide10Time line: 2015Build out Fedora/Hydra and install
Symplectic
Elements.
Pass Open Access Policy.
Focus on OA journal articles and selected library collections in new repository architecture.
Focus on selected departments for citation harvesting and management.
Formulate IR policies with faculty committee.
Design assessment and marketing plans.
Slide11Future YearsFully functional repository for Dartmouth scholarship in all media.
Shared architecture between IR and digital library.
Citation management services for all Dartmouth faculty.
Slide12ConclusionService-based: minimal work for faculty.
Output-based:
adding
value for individuals and
institutions.
Aggregates and brands Dartmouth scholarly output, making
it easily available
for reporting, PR, etc.
Broad service portfolio supporting
research through the full
lifecycle
