IAMSLIC Marine Science Cross Archive Search Service?
Outline proposal (simplistic!)
•IAMSLIC members implement institutional e-Print archives•OAI registration•IAMSLIC set up cross archive search service•Harvest members metadata provide search engine and
interface•IAMSLIC Marine Science Aggregator
We can do it !
Precedent IAMSLIC Z39.50 Distributed Library
LAST YEAR
e-Print archives can provide free open access to the worlds research literature
Who Benefits?

e-Prints : variable definitions• Subject based archives - original scope : Peer-reviewed
articles
• Institutional repositories – whole spectrum of interpretations– Broad output – research + learning + datasets + multimedia +
internal admin documents etc (MIT)
– Southampton• e-Prints are electronic copies of any research output
(journal article, book section, conference paper, technical report, image etc.)
– preprints – unpublished papers before they are refereed
– postprints – papers after they have been refereed
What are Open archives?
• Electronic repository of e-Prints, usually internet based for free access and dissemination
• Both Institutional and discipline based archives that allow public access to content and employ the Open Archive Initiative Metadata Harvesting Protocol
• nb. e-Print archives non OAI registered but still ‘open’
The OAI defines two participants
• Data Providers adopt the OAI technical framework as a means of exposing metadata about their content (held in repositories)– OAI conformant– OAI registered– OAI namespace-registered
• Service Providers harvest metadata from Data Providers using the OAI protocol and use the metadata as the basis for value added services
• Conceptually different but in reality Data Providers can offer both a service directly to users and also metadata for automated harvesters data providers need to offer value added services as well

Benefits of an Institutional Repository
•Provides Institutional information asset management
•Defines Institutional sources of research
•Identifies Institutions value to funding sources
•Raises the profile of the Institution
• Institutional research more visible, more impact and available in electronic form – cited more (Lawrence: Nature)
•Contributes to national and global initiatives which will ensure an international audience for Institution’s latest research.
• (Other universities are developing their own archives which, together, will be searchable by global search tools)
•Libraries can take a lead role – raises profile

Individual Marine Science Repositories
OAI-PMH
What you need to do to set up an Institutional Repository
• Policy decisions– Scope– Who can contribute– One repository or
individual – structure or media type
• Software• Server• IT Skills• Library Support
• Configuration– software – look and feel– Metadata for each
document type– Mandatory fields– File formats– Subject hierarchies– Quality control
• OAI registration
Deposit Process by researcher
• Register • Login and password• Complete metadata fields (author, title,..)• Choose subject category stages• Cut and paste abstract and references• Upload paper as file(s)• Admininstrator QA
Archive Administrators Role
• The Administrator quality controls– Metadata– File upload
• Transfers metadata and related files into the repository
