Based on the conversation, there seems to be strong interest in pursuing an IR solution together. Please remember, however, that we are in the very beginning stages of this conversation and many more discussions and thinking needs to happen before we have a set direction.

Action steps from today's conversation include:

*         Needs assessment - the WACTC Library Consortium will conduct a needs assessment to determine more fully our needs as a group

*         We will also explore IR platforms that fit these needs

I think that's it! We will be touch with more info on the needs assessment as soon as we can!

This is fun!

Greetings! Earlier this summer, the WACTC library consortium conducted a survey among CTC libraries to determine the interest level in a state-wide/consortium-led project aimed at the creation and/or support of institutional repositories at WACTC libraries. The responses indicated interest in such a project! The consortium would like to begin the process of understanding better the various visions and needs for institutional repositories and plans to offer a series of online listening sessions. We'll provide a brief overview of institutional repositories and explore other aspects, such as:


*  Overall structure - Are we looking for a CTC-system solution or primarily a local solution (or both)?

*  Open source vs. vendor-based platforms

*  Long term support for state-wide project/sustainability of project

*  Institutional needs

*  System administration needs

*  Repository features/capabilities

*  Digital collection needs

*  The idea of deep collaboration between institutions focused on sharing workflows, ideas, and support

*  And more! We are open to discussions on all aspects of IRs and institutional needs!


We will break down each of these categories in our listening session with the goal of capturing what institutions want/need in an IR and how best to proceed as a group.


Please join us!


What: Institutional Repositories & WA CTC Libraries

Who: WACTC Library Consortium - this means all of us! Any and all library workers in the WA CTC system are invited to take part in this discussion

When: October 17, 2-3 p.m. (future sessions will be scheduled...in the future!)

Zoom link: https://zoom.us/j/424316794


~~ As a refresher, here's an overview of institutional repositories, as well as a description of the WACTC Library Consortium.


The Washington CTC Library Consortium (WACTCLC<https://sites.google.com/view/wactclc>) includes all library workers at CTC libraries in the state of WA.



Institutional repositories are commonly found in and administered by academic libraries and can be used to curate and make discoverable faculty and student scholarship, student-created learning objects and projects, student publications, art, music, and OER, to list a few examples. The scope of institutional repositories is far-ranging and the impact reaches beyond curation and discoverability to creating a connection between student-produced work and the sharing or publication of that work with the greater community. Institutional repositories amplify student voice in a time when community colleges place that student voice at the center of their main initiatives, such as OER, open pedagogy, capstone projects, and guided pathways.
