2. about Brianna Marshall Lead, Research Data Services –  Education + training –  Consultations –  Data management plans (DMPs) researchdata.wisc.edu @UWMadRschSvcs
3. re·pos·i·to·ry rəˈpäzəˌtôrē/ noun a central location in which data is stored and managed. "the metadata will be aggregated in a repository”

5. repository competition is fierce Traditional –  Institutional –  Funder –  Discipline/subject Hybrid –  Commercial –  Academic social networks –  Data papers
6. institutional repositories •  Most originally started to store ETDs or other publications •  Variety of hosting / support options •  Transitions to handling new formats
7. funder repositories •  Created and supported to provide access to federally funded research •  OSTP Memo open access requirement for publications + data
8. disciplinary repositories Browse repositories at Re3Data: http://service.re3data.org/browse/by-subject/
9. commercial repositories •  Discipline agnostic •  Some free; others charge per file size •  Journal integrations •  Collaboration functionality •  Emerging enterprise options
10. academic social networks •  Profile sites for sharing research outputs •  Finding collaborators •  Similar in looks + func;onality •  Ongoing debate over their use (#deleteacademiaedu)
11. data papers •  Similar to journals for publica;ons, just with a specific focus on data •  OEen peer reviewed
12. striking similarities to emerging journals, eh? Image courtesy of Flickr user 97496178@N03

15. In an nutshell, different: •  Names •  Scopes + focuses •  Business models •  Preservation commitments Yet increasingly similar functionality… Image used courtesy of Flickr user 56781833@N06

28. so, repository services that: -  are relevant -  are supported -  are sustainable
29. …requiring institutional: -  agility -  creativity -  commitment
30. the boundaries of library involvement in research are being rewritten.
31. Image courtesy of Flickr user nanagyei (CC BY) the path forward is hazy (at best)
32. Image courtesy of Flickr user chrischabot (CC BY) let’s dig in
33. and while we build our own systems Image courtesy of parksdh (CC BY)

37. build a pipeline? Image courtesy of 73364851@N03 (CC BY)
38. linking repositories
39. things to think about •  Disciplinary differences •  Academic status differences (grad/ECR vs. unaffiliated researcher vs. faculty) •  Relationship between publishing + repositories •  Changing academic incentives, altmetrics •  Duplication across systems •  Digital preservation
40. discussion points •  What is the future of the institutional repository? •  Here at UW, what is the role of MINDS@UW? •  How can librarians learn more about repositories and broader changes in scholarly communication? •  What are good strategies for engaging departments in discussion on these topics?
