Institutional Repositories @ Savannah State
Recording of Workshop offered on Friday, April 17, 2015. Offers an introduction to Institional Repositories, the Georgia Knowledge Repository (GKR) and a brief introduction to the new TigerScholar Commons for SSU.
Digital Repositories: Essential Information for Academic Librarians
This presentation provides essential information for academic librarians about digital repositories.It describes institutional, disciplinary, and data repositories and gives examples of each. The presentation also looks at the current state of access, focusing on OAI-PMH, and it examines digital preservation for IRs. Academic libraries that host repositories essentially become publishers, and this responsibility has many implications for libraries. The talk closes with a brief look at the proposed "all-scholarship repository" (ASR).
Lesson 6: Using Articles - Part I
This document discusses using articles as sources for research. It explains that articles can be found in newspapers, magazines, and scholarly journals. Databases like ProQuest and Academic Search Elite allow users to search across many periodicals and limit results to specific article types. These databases provide the citation, abstract, and sometimes full text of articles. ProQuest searches across many databases while Academic Search Elite contains articles from a single database. Both are good places to start general research.

The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Research Communicators
The emergence of Web 2.0 and simultaneously Library 2.0 platforms has helped the library and information professionals to outreach to new audiences beyond their physical boundaries. In a globalized society, information becomes very useful resource for socio-economic empowerment of marginalized communities, economic prosperity of common citizens, and knowledge enrichment of liberated minds. Scholarly information becomes both developmental and functional for researchers working towards advancement of knowledge. We must recognize a relay of information flow and information ecology while pursuing scholarly research. Published scholarly literatures we consult that help us in creation of new knowledge. Similarly, our published scholarly works should be outreached to future researchers for regeneration of next dimension of knowledge. Fortunately, present day research communicators have many freely available personalized digital tools to outreach to globalized research audiences having similar research interests. These tools and techniques, already adopted by many researchers in different subject areas across the world, should be enthusiastically utilized by LIS researchers in South Asia for global dissemination of their scholarly research works. This newly found enthusiasm will soon become integral part of the positive habits and cultural practices of research communicators in LIS domain.
