Those who support the Electronic Thesis and Dissertation (ETD) program at Kansas State University have learned much since starting the journey in 2004. Organizational structures, policies and procedures, and technology have changed dramatically over the years and have made supporting ETDs through periods of change challenging but by no means insurmountable. This presentation will provide an overview of K-State’s ETD program including personnel roles, submission and review workflow, support services, preservation, and how the infrastructure has evolved over the years. K-State’s ETD program and supporting services are decentralized with various organizational units providing support in specific areas but cooperating closely to ensure the 450+ theses, dissertations, and reports created every year are processed, preserved, and made openly accessible through the K-State Research Exchange, the institutional repository. The presentation will provide key pieces of good practices related to copyright (including author rights) services, ETD licensing, formatting assistance services, and how to build and maintain support services, even in a decentralized environment. Graduate students are being asked more and more to publish prior to thesis and dissertation completion and to work closer with private industry, potentially involving corporate intellectual property and trade secrets, to be more competitive post-graduation. The presentation will touch on ways to manage risk while maintaining a commitment to open-access. The presentation will conclude with considerations for the future and possible plans for the improvement of K-State’s ETD program.

The long-established academic journal, Mythlore of the Mythopoeic Society, began using the editor’s platform of the SWOSU Digital Commons in 2017. The executive editor, Janet Croft of Rutgers University, will discuss the differences between her former way of managing submissions, reader reviews, and producing a predominantly print journal to doing the work digitally using the editor’s platform of the Institutional Repository. She will describe advantages and disadvantages to using the platform. This is an opportunity for Institutional Repository administrators to ask concrete questions about the learning curve and experience of a seasoned journal editor who has made the transition to using the Digital Commons editor’s platform. Phillip Fitzsimmons, the administrator of the SWOSU Digital Commons https://dc.swosu.edu/, will discuss the relevance of the use of the Digital Commons platform to the goals of the University. He will use download- and viewer-usage Dashboard maps to show the increasing international readership of these two journals and what it can mean to contributors.
历史悠久的学术期刊《神话学会的神话》(Mythlore of The Mythopoeic Society)于2017年开始使用西南财经大学数字共享资源的编辑平台。罗格斯大学的执行编辑珍妮特·克罗夫特(Janet Croft)将讨论她以前管理投稿、读者评论和制作以印刷为主的期刊的方式与使用机构知识库的编辑平台进行数字化工作的区别。她将描述使用该平台的优点和缺点。对于机构资源库管理员来说,这是一个机会,他们可以询问经验丰富的期刊编辑的学习曲线和经验,这些编辑已经过渡到使用数字共享编辑平台。SWOSU Digital Commons https://dc.swosu.edu/的管理员Phillip Fitzsimmons将讨论使用Digital Commons平台与大学目标的相关性。他将使用下载和浏览者使用仪表板地图来显示这两种期刊日益增长的国际读者数量,以及这对贡献者意味着什么。

This presentation examines the impacts of the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) on Digital Commons Institutional Repositories. It will briefly explore the history and requirements of GDPR, steps bepress has taken to comply with regulations, impacts on our bepress repositories, and best practices which libraries can implement at their institutions. It also includes an example of a data audit process at the University of Denver and the resulting privacy policy developed.
本演讲探讨了欧盟通用数据保护条例(GDPR)对数字公共机构存储库的影响。它将简要探讨GDPR的历史和要求,bepress为遵守法规而采取的步骤,对我们的bepress存储库的影响,以及图书馆可以在其机构中实施的最佳实践。它还包括丹佛大学(University of Denver)数据审计流程的一个示例,以及由此制定的隐私政策。

Social media has become an important means of keeping up to date for busy IR managers. Limited to short, pithy messages, but permitting linking and re-tweeting, the Twitter medium is both handy and powerful … when used appropriately. Alternatively, it can become a portal to fascinating, entertaining, horrifying, and time-consuming off-topic content and even an avenue for online harrassment. The presentation for DC-HUG will involve audience participation, and will include discussions of appropriate forms of identity, good and bad avatars, who to follow for scholarly communications subjects, whom to avoid for greater peace of mind, what are appropriate subjects, how to separate professional and personal topics. Tweets are now included in the Plum Analytics—so we want to explore ways of boosting those results while also keeping our IR community involved and informed. Some IR's can tweet in an official capacity, while other libraries (including mine) forbid that. Audience comments and participation will be an essential part of the contribution. The session will present a roster of scholarly communications personalities, with commentary on their standing and attitudes towards IRs specifically. Discussions of tweeting frequency, what is worth tweeting about, and how to respond to annoying tweets (hint: don't) should provide a lively and informative session.
