INDEST-NCSI Workshop on Institutional Repositories: Workshop Report
by Dr. T.B. Rajashekar 11 Aug '04

11 Aug '04

Dear All I am giving below a brief report of the INDEST-NCSI Workshop on Institutional Repositories, held at IISc during 27-29 July 2004. Regards Rajashekar ----------------------------- INDEST-NCSI Workshop on Institutional Repositories: Workshop Report A training workshop on Institutional Repositories was successfully conducted during 27-29 July 2004 at Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore, India. Participants from twenty-one leading academic research institutions in India were imparted training in setting up institutional e-print archives using the EPrints open source software. Participating institutions included Indian Institutes of Technology, Indian Institutes of Management and National Institutes of Technology. The workshop was organized and conducted by the National Centre for Science Information (NCSI), Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore, in association with the Digital Library Research Group, Computer Science Department, Old Dominion University, USA. The workshop was sponsored by the INDEST Consortium, a programme of the Ministry of Human Resources Development (MHRD), Government of India. The main objective of the workshop was to fulfill a recommendation of the INDEST consortium to the member institutions to set up OAI-compliant digital research archives of their research publications, following the model already set up at Indian Institute of Science (http://eprints.iisc.ernet.in/), and to work towards establishment of a virtual research archive using the OAI inter-operability framework. It was strongly felt that this would facilitate improved visibility and impact of research output of these organizations and supplement the existing scholarly publishing system. This initiative is an extension of the INDEST consortium's initial goal of provision of shared access to licensed e-resources like bibliographic databases and e-journals (http://paniit.iitd.ac.in/indest/). Workshop programme and content: The workshop was conducted in a training laboratory equipped with 20 workstations with Linux Red Hat 9.0 operating system. Each participant was provided with a CD-ROM prepared by NCSI especially for the workshop. The CD-ROM consisted of EPrints (version 2.3.4) and other related software (Apache, MySQL, dependent Perl modules, etc.); presentations made in the workshop; sample documents to be used in lab sessions; and resources related to institutional repositories, metadata, and OAI. Participants used a shell scripts developed by NCSI for automating the process of installing EPrints and other required software. The workshop sessions covered the following topics: - Overview of OAI framework and introduction to OAI-PMH - Institutional repository software features and functionality - Overview of EPrints software and EPrints-based archives - EPrints software installation and test archive set up - Document submission, moderation, search and browse - Archive configuration and customization (home page, subjects, metadata) - Automatic metadata extraction - OAI in action harvesting demonstration using local DSPace and EPrints archives and ARC service provider set up - Repository policies, content enrichment and advocacy Workshop inauguration and valedictory: On first day morning, Prof. R.S. Sirohi, Director, Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi and Chairman, National Steering Committee, INDEST Consortium, inaugurated the workshop. Prof. Goverdhan Mehta, Director, Indian Institute of Science, was the Chief Guest. On third day evening, Prof. P. Balaram, Chairman, Division of Biological Science, Indian Institute of Science, and Editor of Current Science journal published by the Indian Academy of Sciences, chaired the valedictory session. Workshop evaluation: All the participants were successful in installing the required software and set up test e-print archives on their workstations. They also went through the document submission and approval processes. They also experimented with simple customization changes to the test archives. In a formal feedback gathered, most participants felt confident of setting up e-print archives in their institutions. Many expressed the need for further help and suggested more hands-on time in future workshops. On a scale of 1-5 (1-very poor, 5- very good), workshop content got average rating of 4.7, logistics arrangement got 4.4, and overall assessment got 4.5. A major suggestion was to make available faster machines in the training lab, compared to the slow PII machines that we made available to the participants!
