Shreeves Lessons Learned and Looking Forward
- 1. Lessons learned & Looking forward Sarah L. Shreeves Associate Dean for Digital Strategies University of Miami
- 2. • Start with my own history with IRs
- 5. Lesson 1: IRs and IR managers – in general – were left to find their own way. Of course, we weren’t going to make much of a dent in green OA. Staffing and support can make an enormous difference in the success of an IR, but IRs in and of themselves are not going to change the direction of OA. (we had a chance and we lost it mostly)

IRs should be part of your scholarly communications program, your collection management strategy, your discovery services, and within your liaison librarians’ area of expertise. Integrate!

Lesson 3: IRs can be vital parts of the university and should solve problems for our faculty and students. How can your IR be part of undergraduate research and teaching? Can you offer DOIs to researchers in need of one? How flexible are you?
