Ruth Pagell – University Librarian, Singapore Management University
Paolina Martin – Director, Institutional Repository, Singapore Management University
The Li Ka Shing Library adopted a strategic and collaborative approach in implementing its institutional repository. Engaging the institution’s policy stakeholders including the University’s Provost early in the day, a strategic planning and governance committee was established to guide the vision and objectives for the institutional repository. The platform served to decide on intellectual property rights and copyright policies and addressed the need for a more coordinated approach to managing accountability at all levels, from the institution right down to the individual. The strategy presented opportunities for enhancing faculty productivity through taking a holistic approach to supporting the lifecycle of research and consolidating information needs on research and teaching data across the organization. As a result, the drivers for the enrichment and sustainability of the institutional repository were set in place.
