Scherer, D.; Valen, D. (2019). Balancing Multiple Roles of
Repositories: Developing a Comprehensive Repository at Carnegie Mellon
University. Publications 7, 30. https://doi.org/10.3390/publications7020030
Many academic and research institutions today maintain multiple
types of institutional repositories operating on different systems and
platforms to accommodate the needs and governance of the materials they
house. Often, these institutions support multiple repository
infrastructures, as these systems and platforms are not able to
accommodate the broad range of materials that an institution creates.
Announced in 2017, the Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) Libraries
implemented a new repository solution and service model. Built upon the
Figshare for Institutions platform, the KiltHub repository has taken on
the role of a traditional institutional repository and institutional
data repository, meeting the disparate needs of its researchers,
faculty, and students. This paper will review how the CMU Libraries
implemented the KiltHub repository and how the repository services was
redeveloped to provide a more encompassing solution for traditional
institutional repository materials and research datasets. Additionally,
this paper will summarize how the CMU University Libraries surveyed the
current repository landscape, decided to implement Figshare for
Institutions as a comprehensive institutional repository, revised its
previous repository service model to accommodate the influx of new
material types, and what needed to be developed for campus engagement.
This paper is based upon a presentation of the same title delivered at
the 2018 Open Repositories Conference held at Montana State University
in Bozeman, Montana.
