"Showcasing More" and "Increasing Impact": The Virtuous Cycle of IR Success

Thad Cochran Center 218

Every institution wants an IR that showcases the full breadth of its works and drives significant impact for the academic interests on campus. In fact, this creates a "virtuous cycle": more content leads to more readers and recognition, more collaborations, more students, and more funding, which in turn leads to more content. But how do you reach that level of success? And how do you sustain it? This talk answers these questions through two particular lenses on the IR: content population (“Showcasing More”) and impact realization (“Increasing Impact”). Digital Commons customer case studies and recent and upcoming product developments will highlight these two themes.
