Institutional Repositories: A survey of interest

The Washington CTC Library Consortium (WACTCLC), whose membership consists of all CTC libraries in the state of WA, is considering pursuing an IMLS National Leadership in Libraries grant to support the creation and/or support of institutional repositories at WA CTC libraries.

Institutional repositories are commonly found in and administered by academic libraries and can be used to curate and make discoverable faculty and student scholarship, student-created learning objects and projects, student publications, art, music, and OER, to list a few examples. The scope of institutional repositories is far-ranging and the impact reaches beyond curation and discoverability to creating a connection between student-produced work and the sharing or publication of that work with the greater community. Institutional repositories amplify student voice in a time when community colleges place that student voice at the center of their main initiatives, such as OER, open pedagogy, capstone projects, and guided pathways.

The preliminary proposal for the IMLS grant is due September 27, 2019. If that proposal is accepted, the full proposal is due in March of 2020. Accepted projects would begin around the beginning of the federal fiscal year in October 2020.

Please help us determine if there is enough interest in going forward with a preliminary proposal. Thank you!
