YAIR (Yeshiva Academic Institutional Repository): How rethinking an open-source institutional repository is changing the visibility of faculty, students and administration at a private NYC University.

Abstract

The article explores how her institution's repository moved from a narrow digital archive of faculty articles and student theses and dissertations to a robust, organic collection of academic work. The repository is hosted on an open-source platform with low-cost maintenance. Inreach to students and faculty as well as outreach to alumni is discussed.
