This is usually a memorandum of understanding between the repository management team and the institutions
research office which is used by library top management to assess the quality of the repository and whether the
repository is meeting the institutions business or academic objectives.
The guidelines are targeted at academic institutions in developing countries world wide, who want to start an open access research repository and who want to know in detail what is required and how to do it step-by-step. This soup-to-nuts overview may be particularly useful for those involved in the early stages of planning for an institutional repository. The focus during development of the open system has been long term repository preservation, security, stability and interoperability on the internet.

International Conference on Engineering Education (ICEE2007) (Coimbra, Portugal)
The Library Linkage Project (PrEBi) has as main objective to share the bibliographic acervus resident in ISTEC Institutions, in order to satisfy the demand of Researchers, Teachers and Students. To manage the bibliography requirements (journal articles, book chapters, congress proceedings, theses and patents) made by users, it's been developed the Celsius Software. Nowadays the main job of Celsius administrators is to lookup requests in ISTEC and non-ISTEC Institutions' catalogs by hand which takes many hours to check all until the resource is found. In order to perform this task more efficiently, it has been created in PrEBi the Celsius Bloodhound Project. This project, currently in analysis and design stage, intends to automatize this tedious job by searching and fetching records from library servers. Bloodhound's design is flexible enough to allow connections from almost any application and to connect to many different remote catalogues. Bloodhound will be able to interact transparently with many servers, taking advance of existing technologies and protocols, improving quality service in the search of resources in PrEBi and other Institutions as well.

CLEAR: a Credible Live Evaluation Method of Website Archivability, iPRES2013Vangelis Banos
Abstract: Web archiving is crucial to ensure that cultural, scientific and social heritage on the web remains accessible and usable over time. A key aspect of the web archiving process is optimal data extraction from target websites. This procedure is difficult for such reasons as, website complexity, plethora of underlying technologies and ultimately the open-ended nature of the web. The purpose of this work is to establish the notion of Website Archivability (WA) and to introduce the Credible Live Evaluation of Archive Readiness (CLEAR) method to measureWA for any website. Website Archivability captures the core aspects of a website crucial in diagnos-
ing whether it has the potentiality to be archived with com-
pleteness and accuracy. An appreciation of the archivability of a web site should provide archivists with a valuable tool when assessing the possibilities of archiving material and influence web design professionals to consider the implications of their design decisions on the likelihood could be archived.
A prototype application, archiveready.com, has been established to demonstrate the viabiity of the proposed method for assessing Website Archivability.
Empirical study of an automated inventory management system with bayesian inf...eSAT Journals
Abstract
This research addresses the inefficiency and inconsistency associated with asset tracking and inventory management. This paper focuses on the algorithm and framework of an automated system for large quantities of inventory control, with the features of geographically-widely located facility and heterogeneous assets. Further, the authors investigate two major asset-tracking practices: manual or barcode inventory management system versus automated inventory management system. The authors empirically validate both systems with modeling, simulation, and observation of the system performances. The evidence provides statistically strong support for the improvement of efficiency and accuracy of automated inventory management system, although the impacts of environmental circumstances and human factors suggest that precautions should be taken to minimize the influences of such factors. The proposed automated system is ideal for large quantities of inventory control. Small scale of inventory control depends more on manual inspection or barcode technology. This research provides a possible solution to the growing concerns over asset tracking and protection. In addition, it has the potential to change the facilities management process and policy of the organizations with widely located properties. This empirical study verified the practicability of implementing an automated inventory management system and validated the design by comparing the performances of the manual system and the automated system.

Enhancing and testing repository deposit interfacesdepositMO
The JISC DepositMO Project has developed two new repository deposit interfaces, in the process both contributing to and using the new SWORDv2 protocol. These interfaces aimed to reposition deposit in the context of popular authoring and desktop management tools, also to reschedule repository deposit from end-of-creation to an in-progress activity, thereby seeking to change the culture, or modus operandi (the ‘MO’ of DepositMO), of repository deposit. These interfaces have been extensively tested with users. This paper illustrates use of these interfaces and summarises the test results.

Introduction
An audit tries to answer several of the following questions from users.
• How can I trust that the information in this repository is accurate and authoritative?
• How can I trust that the embargoes I request, will be properly enforced?
• How can I trust that the information I digitally store, will be available now and in the future, on the internet?
• How can I trust that my bibliography of electronic citations using the repository, will work today and in the
future, on the internet?
Accounting Analogy
We are very aware of the accounting audit function. In the course of an enterprise conducting business, records of
account are kept by clerics and bookkeepers which are then managed by accountants. Auditors inspect the work of
the accountants to determine if the accounts satisfy generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP
[2]
). If they do,
then they sign the financial statements.
A similar process could be involved in the audit of open access publishing systems. A possible definition of the
process could be as follows:
"In the course of a University conducting research, publications are produced by researchers which are then
deposited into a research repository by research librarians. The research collections in the repository are managed by
research repository managers. Auditors inspect the work of the research repository managers to determine if the
repository satisfies generally accepted repository practice (GARP). If it does, then they certify the repository for an
agreed period of time."
GARP or Generally Accepted Repository Practice
Below are listed some sections that could form part of the audit and a draft GARP document, that would allow the
audit to proceed in a generally accepted manner,
•• Section 1: Policy
4. SUNScholar/Audit 2
•• Section 2: Preservation
•• Section 3: Sustainability
•• Section 4: Visibility
•• Section 5: Security
•• Section 6: Ingest
•• Section 7: Customisation
•• Section 8: Digitisation
•• Section 9: Promotion
•• Section 10: Legal
•• Section 11: Community
Example reports
Below are links to what an audit report may look like. These are very brief and are NOT authoritative at ALL.
• SUNScholar - 2012
[3]
: http://scholar.sun.ac.za
• UNAM Scholar - 2012
[4]
: http://repository.unam.na
If audits are conducted, using GARP as described above, as the accepted benchmark amongst library professionals,
then the report would be a valuable tool for library top management, to assess the quality of the repository and to
suggest where corrective strategic and tactical measures should be taken, to meet the academic or business objectives
of the institution.

SECTION 1 - POLICY
1.1. Policy is required to ensure that no predatory tactics are employed to rob the University and the public of
important public digital research assets.
2. Research that is publicly funded should be made publicly available using open and interoperable digital
systems and standards.
3. The policy must ensure that all research digital assets are deposited into a repository so that the University has
effective physical ownership of the research digital asset which uses an open digital format.

SECTION 2 - PRESERVATION
1.1. Preserving digital assets is necessary to ensure that the digital assets are available to future researchers using
future technology.
2.2. Preservation also ensures that electronic citations using internet technology are always resolvable.
3. Preservation must record the provenance

1.1. Sustaining the repository over time will require significantly more technology resources than sustaining a
traditional print collection of materials.
2.2. A directed and sustained effort should be made to build capacity by sourcing the technology skills and expertise
locally, in order to be independent, in support of the repository.

Security of the repository must be ensured for the following reasons:
1.1. The vital digital research outputs must be secured from a system disaster.
2.2. The repository must be secured from intrusion via the internet by unauthorised persons.
3.3. The connection to the repository via the internet must be secured to protect the usernames and passwords of

SECTION 7 - CUSTOMISATION
1.1. Customisation of the repository is usually required to make it fit for the purpose it was created.
2. However customisation is usually a once-off task and can be accomplished by highly skilled third parties such as
Java programmers and Web 2.0 designers, therefore evaluation of customisation will be subjective but the
appropriate fitness for purpose
[1]
can be evaluated by surveying a sample group of users.
3.3. If the customisation is to be preserved on the repository system for the long term, then adequate resources
must be provided to ensure continuity of the customisation during system upgrades.

SECTION 11 - COMMUNITY
1.1. Since the repository system benefits greatly, from free community contributions of software and documentation,
it is fair to ask how the institution using these contributions gives back to the communities involved.
2.2. The more support there is for the communities, the more sustainable they become.
3.3. The institution using community software and documentation can be evaluated for their contributions, by
checking to see if they contribute to the following organisations:
1. http://www.dspace.org
2. http://www.duraspace.org
3. http://www.ubuntu.com
4. http://pkp.sfu.ca
Does the institution make individual contributions?
