More and more health science libraries are turning to institutional repositories to preserve, organize, and promote research, data, and other institutional knowledge. Join Ellen Brassil, Director, Health Sciences Library at Baystate Health, and Dina McKelvy, Director, Library and Knowledge Services at Maine Medical Center, to learn about their decisions to implement repositories for their organizations.

Ellen and Dina will share about how their repositories have helped:

• Raise the visibility of medical research and showcase individual and institutional expertise
• Provide a publication venue for researchers, students, and practitioners
• Track publication output and report on researcher productivity
• Ensure that the library is visible and relevant to the rest of the organization
