Kind of weird to hear that the FDA's metadata scheme wasn't already good for journal articles -- what the heck else was the FDA supposed to be for? <br /><br />Since I've been working so much with Omeka (a history and archives-oriented web publishing platform developed by the same folks that brought us Zotero), I've been looking closely at the FDA. I was excited to see that Tamiment Library had FDA collections for things like the Communist Party Papers; I was hoping we could import at least the metadata for those items using OAI-PMH. But it turns out those are collections in name only -- there's nothing in them. Very few faculty seem to be using the repository, too, especially in the humanities -- apparently the Stern Business School publishes a lot of its working papers there, but that's about all. <br /><br />I do recognize that the FDA is meant to be mainly for faculty research products, not archival materials held in the library, but it's the only repository I know of at NYU that's OAI-compliant.<br /><br />Anyway, enough complaining. Thanks for blogging about this -- I think you're absolutely right that we need tools that *both* archive *and* disseminate research.Amanda Frenchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08279522992900557181noreply@blogger.com
