Description
In this session, Stephanie Davis-Kahl (Illinois Wesleyan University), Michael Organ (University of Wollongong), and Jean-Gabriel Bankier (bepress) presented around the following topics: Measuring success Reviewing and evaluating needs and goals Setting your next milestone Stephanie Davis-Kahl: A recent redesign DigitalCommons@IWU has gotten Stephanie Davis-Kahl, Scholarly Communications Librarian and Associate Professor, thinking about where they are now and where to go next. Here she’ll discuss their original goals, how they’ve measured and shared their success, what lessons they’ve learned along the way, and how they’ll be moving forward with their initiative. Michael Organ: With nearly 50,000 submissions and ten million downloads, University of Wollongong’s Research Online repository is one of the largest in the world and continues to grow. As such, it is considered an incredibly successful initiative--, but how does Michael measure success beyond number of objects and downloads? He’ll discuss how his goals and measures of success have changed over time, as well as some of his strategies for sharing successes across and beyond campus. Jean-Gabriel Bankier: Over the past few years, different methods for ranking repositories have been developed. What do they really measure? Led by the values of the community, Jean-Gabriel Bankier, bepress President and CEO, will propose a new rubric for benchmarking repositories.
