Experience of building an Open Access Institutional Repository in a UK Scientific Research Organisation Catherine Jones & Matthew Mascord CCLRC Catherine Jones & Matthew Mascord
Contents • Introduction to CCLRC • ePubs: design, technology and functionality • Information environment • Challenges • Future developments • Conclusions Catherine Jones & Matthew Mascord Catherine Jones & Matthew Mascord 11/5/2005
Introduction to CCLRC • Council for the Central Laboratory of the Research Council. • Sites at Daresbury Lab., Rutherford Appleton Lab. & Chilbolton • Remit: • Provision of large scale scientific facilities • Knowledge transfer • Public understanding of science • Publications are an indicator of scientific value Catherine Jones & Matthew Mascord Catherine Jones & Matthew Mascord 11/5/2005
What is ePubs? • Central repository of scientific and technical publications • Externally accessible since May 2004 • Figures: >21000 metadata records from 1965 onwards, approx 400 full text • Managed and funded by LIS as part of our strategic development plan Catherine Jones & Matthew Mascord Catherine Jones & Matthew Mascord 11/5/2005
Design Aims • Tight integration with corporate processes & procedures • Light-weight input workflow • Consideration of developer skills In-house development would be the most effective means of delivering these aims Catherine Jones & Matthew Mascord Catherine Jones & Matthew Mascord 11/5/2005
is realised through Work is embodied in Expression is exemplified by Manifestation Item Data model • Starting point: IFLS’s Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records • Additional input from formalised Dublin Core, ONIX for Serials and BibTex Catherine Jones & Matthew Mascord Catherine Jones & Matthew Mascord 11/5/2005
Functionality • Simple four screen input workflow • Simple & advanced searches and nine browse indices • OAI-PMH interface • Publishers DOIs added to records • CCLRC authors linked to corporate identity Catherine Jones & Matthew Mascord Catherine Jones & Matthew Mascord 11/5/2005
Person OrgUnit Project Corporate Integration • Authorisation and authentication • Existing systems/processes about scientific publications • CCLRC staff linked to Corporate Data Repository – Common European Research Information Format Catherine Jones & Matthew Mascord Catherine Jones & Matthew Mascord 11/5/2005

Information environment • Open Access principle: The outputs of publicly funded research should be freely available • Will benefit researchers: wider exposure • Evolving journal article delivery • Effect on the Library and Information Service's budget • Access to information for researchers • Performance indicators (c.f. UK RAE) Catherine Jones & Matthew Mascord Catherine Jones & Matthew Mascord 11/5/2005
Challenges • Rights awareness within CCLRC • Encouraging self-deposit • Retaining a version that can be self-deposited • Changing self-deposit cultures within areas such as Particle Physics Catherine Jones & Matthew Mascord Catherine Jones & Matthew Mascord 11/5/2005
Future developments • OA Publicity • Digitisation programme for CCLRC Technical Reports • Software enhancements • Pursuing linking between scientific data and the publications that result from it. • Adding value Catherine Jones & Matthew Mascord Catherine Jones & Matthew Mascord 11/5/2005
Conclusions • http://epubs.cclrc.ac.uk • ePubs is an important strategic development for CCLRC LIS • Placing it within the organisation’s processes is very important • Adding retrospective data increases take-up in the present • Makes scientific knowledge easier to locate Catherine Jones & Matthew Mascord Catherine Jones & Matthew Mascord 11/5/2005
