Increasing Faculty Engagement in OA Repositories with Strategic Linking

A presentation of the Rochester Institute of Technology’s faculty bibliography website and how submissions to the bibliography page are linked to the Open Access institutional repository, RIT Scholar Works, facilitating the process for faculty. Since we implemented the system, faculty submissions to the repository have increased significantly. Their research is additionally highlighted through an RSS link between the repository and the university’s home page, thus increasing visibility of faculty scholarship and the institutional repository.
