Back to IR

IR = institutional repository. I haven't forgotten my original mission, to create a repository for the College of Engineering. I visited Hal Carter, Head of the ECECS Department, armed with my knowledge from Cal Tech, Harvard, and MIT. I was scouting for potential material to begin a pilot. Turns out ECECS was just in the process of developing its own little repository. And Hal liked the appeal of the material eventually being part of a larger, possibly state-wide engineering repository at OhioLINK.

We put our heads together and created a project proposal following OhioLINK's guidelines for submissions to the Digital Media Center (DMC), with the last version of the draft dated today. It will go under review by UC's Digital Department and advisory committee.
