    Institutional Repositories for Public Engagement: Creating a Common Good Model for an Engaged Campus
    (2020) Moore, Erik A.; Collins, Valerie M.; Johnston, Lisa R.
    Most higher-education institutions strive to be publicly engaged and community centered. These institutions leverage faculty, researchers, librarians, community liaisons, and communication specialists to meet this mission, but they have largely underutilized the potential of institutional repositories. Academic institutions can use institutional repositories to provide open access and long-term preservation to institutional gray literature, research data, university publications, and campus research products that have tangible, real-world applications for the communities they serve. Using examples from the University of Minnesota, this article demonstrates how making this content discoverable, openly accessible, and preserved for the future through an institutional repository not only increases the value of this publicly-engaged work but also creates a lasting record of a university’s public engagement efforts and contributes to the mission of the institution.

    Preserving Podcasts in Institutional Repositories
    (Association of College and Research Libraries, 2023) Collins, Valerie M.; Moore, Erik A.
    This chapter introduces the University of Minnesota Archives’ efforts to locate and ingest University of Minnesota podcasts into the institutional repository, the University Digital Conservancy (UDC). The inclusion of podcast media in IRs rethinks traditional formats in repositories by focusing on non-text-based content. This undertaking extends the IR’s reach to local creators and new contributors at the institution while broadening its reach beyond an academic audience. By looking past traditional IR scholarly content to include podcasts produced by university departments, institutional repositories can also capture a particular record of the institution that might otherwise be lost: the sound of the university engaged in its mission of research, teaching, and outreach.
