It also demonstrates the important contributions of Washington University and its partnership with the Central Institute for the Deaf have made to the history of the professions of deaf education and audiology.Dr. William W. Clark, PhD Professor of OtolaryngologyDirector, Program in Audiology and Communication SciencesWashington University School of MedicineProblems and Issues Our ApproachResponse, Feedback & UsageLessons Learned - New or Continuing IssuesFuture ExpectationsBuilding a Research Showcase:A library-based model for enhancing institutional repository utilization✓ Collect, preserve and make accessible the scholarly output of the Washington University School of Medicine.✓ Generate meaningful statistical information about how the contents of the repository are being used.✓ Adopted an externally supported platform to play to the strengths of our staff: defining, describing and organizing information.✓ Assumed the task of ingestion of works on behalf of authors.✓ Responsibility for collections was assigned to various library staff, including ingestion of works, providing them with “ownership” of collections.✓ Approached research groups instead of individual authors.  Establishing a workflow process in coordination with a point person from each research group and library staff promotes sustained participation.✓ Leveraged librarian expertise and other services such as copyright verification.✓ Although robust open-source repository platforms exist, allocation of library staff to devote time and expertise to customize and maintain an open-source platform was not possible.✓ Regardless of the platform, a major issue with an institutional repository is sustained participation by authors.✓ Buy-in from research groups was surprisingly easy.  We credit librarians in outreach roles for establishing strong relationships with faculty members in the research groups.✓ Authors expressed no concerns regarding multiple versions of works being available from different resources (final peer-reviewed vs. final published).✓ Creating an authority name file for authors from our institution was necessary.....and time consuming.✓ Providing copyright verification for authors also demands a certain amount of time.✓ Even with the ability to create custom templates, itʼs wise to keep them as simple as possible.✓ Sustained involvment and interest from research groups will likely remain a challenge.  ✓ Emphasis on the ability to showcase and track the usage of works should continue to be popular with research groups and will prove to be useful for reporting to funding agencies.✓ Continued increase in full document downloads and web traffic.✓ Refinements to the library-based model to ensure sustainability and timely ingestion.✓ Increased involvment from staff.✓ Stronger relationships with research groups which should create new opportunities to promote additional library services.
