Institutional Repository Day

  • End date: April 29, 2016
  • Location: Hattiesburg, Mississippi
    Listen to our "10 in 10" Lightning Talk or book a 15-minute meeting with us.

Institutional Repository Day is an opportunity for Institutional Repository (IR) managers to come together and learn about new ideas and strategies that their colleagues are using at their institution’s IR to meet the needs of their faculty, staff, and students. It is also a chance for institutions that do not currently have an IR to discover the benefits that an IR can offer in terms of promoting the scholarship and research of their university.

IR Day consists of speakers, panel discussions, and workshops that will address topics ranging from the basics of IRs to new ideas for longtime IR managers. The presentations will also include speakers who use a variety of different IR platforms, thus allowing attendees to compare the different options that are available to them.

Plum Analytics is doing a Lightning Talk at 5:30 pm on Thursday, April 28th, called “10 in 10: IR Metrics Use Cases in 10 Minutes” that will showcase how different institutions are using altmetrics in their Institutional Repositories. We will also be on hand to meet with attendees and talk about using PlumX Metrics in your IR.
