DIY Data Repository: Repurposing the IR and Developing Policy for Data Deposit
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: The problem: faculty need a permanent, citeable location for data to accompany pending publications, and the expertise of a librarian to develop appropriate metadata, but lack funding for a curated data repository. The solution: an open data series in the institutional repository. This session will detail the case that initiated development of an open dataseries at the speaker's institution, the specifics of implementation including the development of a data deposit policy, and a discussion of the implications and limitations of this DIY approach to data deposit and curation. Attendees will gain a better understanding of the range of factors and considerations involved in repurposing the IR to house data.
