A Life Well Lived: Looking Backwards and Forwards and Sideways Too: Exploring the Full Lifecycle of Institutional Scholarly Communication at Your Library.

This conference report examines the entire lifecycle of scholarship from a digital perspective through the lens of Georgetown University Library’s institutional repository (IR), DigitalGeorgetown. It focuses on digital curation and creation of digital resources and scholarship using automated workflows and integration with vendor subscribed discovery service platforms. Specific topics covered include use of open tools like Open Researcher and Contributor ID and SHERPA/RoMEO, integration with Academic Preservation Trust, enhanced discovery through Summon and Schema.org, and use of Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager. Together these tools have helped improve the complete lifecycle of how digital resources and scholarship get ingested, disseminated, and enhanced within Georgetown’s IR. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
