*Susan Gibbons* is the Assistant Dean of Public Services and Collection 
Development at the River Campus Libraries, University of Rochester. She 
has an MLS and MA in History from Indiana University and a professional 
MBA from the University of Massachusetts. She has been involved in the 
University of Rochester's IR project since 2000 and is the co-principal

into the current work practices of faculty from different disciplines.


      Description

This institute will cover the technical, policy, and human factors 
related to establishing an institutional repository (IR). Based in part 
on the presenter's Library Technology Report "Establishing an 
Institutional Repository" (July/August 2004), the institute will reflect 
the current state of IR development and best practices, as well as the 
lessons learned by early adopters. Discussion topics will include:

--What is an IR and why should my institution have one
--Who should be involved in the project
--Policy decisions
--Cost factors
--Overview of available IR systems
--Content recruitment strategies

The institute aims to provide a very realistic picture of the costs, 
benefits and complexities involved in establishing an IR.


      Meal

Vegetarian options are available for lunch


      Audience

This program is intended for librarians, administrators, and computer 
professionals at institutions with an IR project under consideration or 
in early stages of development. The material will be oriented to an 
audience from academic and research institutions because current IR use 
is most prevalent at those organizations.
