Abstract

The University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC), a research-intensive institution with 546 Full-time and 292 Part-time faculty, participates in the Maryland Shared Open Access Repository (MD-SOAR) and has the MD-SOAR DSpace platform available to it. The Digital Scholarship Services Librarian (DSS Librarian) at UMBC’s Albin O. Kuhn Library shifted duties from Acquisitions to work full time on the repository. Four months into a soft roll-out with minimal outreach only to individual faculty members, she had attempted to get faculty to submit items themselves with little success. She also began identifying new faculty publications via Google Scholar Alerts and adding these to the repository when appropriate with this method of populating the repository proving to be far more successful.
