SPEC Kit 343: Library Support for Faculty/Researcher Publishing · 43
Faculty/researcher publications are showcased through their individual Selected Works pages, which is part of
ScholarWorks @UMass Amherst. When University Relations showcases this work, they point to the faculty member’s
Selected Works page.
In addition to offering publications at DSpace.mit.edu, we showcase research that has appeared in mainstream news
services within the libraries’ blog stories when we have associated open access articles to link to. But this is not a
dedicated web page—it’s within the Libraries’ overall blog. The MIT News for the entire campus frequently showcases
faculty publications on the news blog.
Institutional Repository—Purdue ePubs—highlights faculty publications on its main web page.
ScholarsArchive (institutional repository)
The institutional repository has several pages devoted to faculty/researcher publications. The library’s Communications
Department coordinates the annual “Celebrating Authors” event and maintains the web page that lists the participants.
A library guide created for the Science Café Community Series showcases some faculty publications.
The library has a “featured works” section on the repository page, and the university hosts a research blog. Some
subject specialists also maintain “Duke authors” page(s).

Works (bepress selected faculty profiles).

But promoted via IR among other institutional publications/outputs.
Done at the university level.
Good idea though. We do publicize faculty talks/presentations on the library homepage banner, but there is not specific
place in the library website dedicated to showcasing publications as such.
However, research publications funded by the OA fund are listed on the Scholarly Communication website, and the
other research publications are accessible through the digital repository website. Columbia researchers also publish in
Columbia-hosted journals, and those articles are also available on the journal websites.
Other than our IR, no.
The Libraries do not provide this kind of web page showcasing publications of an individual because there are plans
to implement these pages for all faculty at the university level. However, we are upgrading our institutional repository
software late this summer and may have more opportunities with that software to showcase faculty work in the
