Open Access Progress and Promise in the CGIAR ConsortiumCIARD Movement
The presentation provided an overview and update on the CGIAR Consortium's progress in Open Access, including some of the challenges and opportunities of advocating for Open Access across the Consortium.
The webinar was presented by Piers Bocock, Director of Knowledge Management and Communication at the CGIAR Consortium. He is responsible for overseeing the development and implementation of the Consortium’s Knowledge Management, Communications, and IT strategies, leveraging best practices in these disciplines to help the Consortium deliver on its mandate.
The presenters will talk about their journey from a traditional library catalogue (Voyager) to an open source system (Koha). They will focus on how they ensured that the new system is clear and accessible – a key requirement as an arts institution with a high number of dyslexic students. They will highlight the opportunities and challenges of an open source system and report on where they stand seven months after implementation, including feedback from students who have been using the new system.

Figshare is a research data management platform that offers out-of-the-box compliance with the EPSRC mandate on open access to research data. Not only does figshare satisfy open data mandates but it also provides a world class research data dissemination platform. With private sharing and collaboration functionality, figshare for institutions provides a flexible and comprehensive end-to-end data management platform. This session will focus on how the University of Sheffield and the University of Salford have implemented figshare for institutions.

BioMed Central recently hosted a repository workshop at the ACRL conference in Seattle entitled Developing A Repository: The Library’s Journey
The workshop focused on developments in the open access movement and the consequent need for institutions to have their own institutional repository. This was followed by a case study on the journey that a library takes in developing and implementing a repository to their institution.

Dr. Helena Asamoah-Hassan
University Librarian, KNUST, Kumasi , Ghana
at
BioMed Open Access Africa Conference held at University of Cape
Town, South Africa, 4-5 November 2012
2. Introduction
Repositories
• alternative means for publishing scholarly information.
• make scholarly work of researchers globally available
and so well cited.
• feature the intellectual output of institutions which
enhances their visibility and increases their impact.
• Enable long term archiving of research works
2
3. Why Capacity Building?
• Primary aim is to build and strengthen the capacity of
repository managers, repository administrators, library
staff, and stakeholders who will be involved in
establishing, managing and using the Intellectual output
recorded in the repositories.
• To also ensure that
- work of the repository is uninterrupted
- optimum service is provided to users
- repository is sustained and reliable
4. When Capacity building?
• Before repository is created
- to train personnel to accept and work with it.
- to inform stakeholders to ensure their buy-in.
• During its creation
- to correct any mistakes in the process.
- to further train personnel and tighten loose ends.
• During its operation
- to ensure that new methods being developed are
introduced to improve the service.
5. How Capacity Building?
• Workshops – individual fields and all put together
• Conferences / Seminars/ Webinars
• On-the-job-training / One-on-one-training
• IR Communication Platform - A website available for online repositories
skills dissemination, knowledge sharing and networking eg.
www.ir-africa.info. (Dgroups) Serves the community of repository experts
• Forums - for knowledge sharing and networking
• Social networking tools eg. Podcasting, Tweeting etc.
• Toolkit – A compilation of a set of tools, instructions and information that
provide practical information on key steps for setting up and managing
repositories within institutions.
• Resources / Survey report – Reports that provide baseline information on
