Making the Connection: An Examination of Institutional Repositories and Scholarly Communication Crosslinking Practices | Kilcer | College & Research Libraries

Abstract:  Institutional repositories (IRs) remain a powerful tool for opening, sharing, and preserving scholarship. Scholarly communication (SC) services and resources are essential to promoting and supporting IRs. Linking SC services within an IR offers support to users at their point of need. This study investigates the prevalence of web linking between IR and SC services in 145 Association of Research Libraries and Carnegie R1 libraries.
