eScholarship@UMMS - Digital Commons New England User Group: Who Us?: A Government Documents Librarian and a Projects Specialist Collaborate on Establishing an Institutional Repository

"Our talk focuses on how a government documents librarian, with professional experience in social sciences and information literacy and a projects specialist with experience in fundraising and research were thrust into leadership roles for establishing an Institutional Repository at Montclair State University with no prior experience. Our seemingly unrelated backgrounds served us well to bring an essential and much needed service to our university. As 'Agents of Change,' we will discuss the process involved for promoting the value of the Repository to administration, faculty and library staff through our own antidotes for success based on our extensive research and collaboration. "
