Description

During the fall of 2022, it was decided that LSU Libraries would rename its institutional repository (IR). While there were many options to choose from, it was crucial to choose a name that would not only express the ultimate scope of the IR, but also reflect the mission of the university. This presentation will discuss pivotal points of the renaming and rebranding process:

  • Choosing a name
  • Asking for feedback
  • Getting authorizations and approvals
  • Alerting IR stakeholders and partners
  • Post-implementation response from the university community
