Description
Texas A&M University-Commerce implemented Digital Commons as their institutional repository in Summer 2021. This is the first institutional repository launched at our university. The Implementation Committee divided into two groups, Scholarly Communications and Special Collections and University Archives, and each had unique needs and requirements. This included developing an organizational structure, workflows, creating policies, usage permissions, and identifying content. This was a complex project for our small staff, but we were able to launch successfully by our deadline. This session focuses on the most important decisions made in order to launch Digital Commons in under a month. We will discuss our implementation workflows, processes and challenges that were met. We will wrap up by discussing what worked and what did not work.
