Librarians need to be familiar with the evolving aspects of
scholarly communication and the changing scholarly record. One component of
that is the role of repositories. It’s crucial for anyone working in a research
library to understand the repository landscape, both to advise researchers on
where to look for information and how to disseminate their own research articles.
Librarians should appreciate the nature of the leading disciplinary
repositories and
have a sense of their motivations, their scope, and how they
operate. Before getting involved with a disciplinary repository, they should be
familiar with the risks and opportunities in depending on the repository and,
most importantly, they need to know if the repository has a sustainable model.
For a library considering starting a disciplinary repository or taking on the operation
of an existing one, these considerations are essential.
