    Abstract
    The early promise of institutional repositories is beginning to bear fruit. Medical libraries with institutional repositories, like other academic libraries, have found that their repositories support new ways of engaging with researchers and meeting the challenges posed by the transformation in scholarly communication over the past decade exemplified by open access, the National Institutes of Health Public Access Policy, campus-based publishing, and the sharing of research data. Institutional repositories can grow and thrive in academic health sciences libraries and be a vital component in the provision of library services to faculty, researchers, staff, and students.

      Challenges and Lessons Learned: Moving From Image Database to Institutional Repository

      Piorun, Mary E; Palmer, Lisa A.; Comes, James F. (2007-07-01)
      Purpose– The purpose of this paper is to chronicle the Lamar Soutter Library's effort to build an educational image database, and how the project developed into an institutional repository. Design/methodology/approach– The paper is divided into three phases and highlights the organizational, political, technological and resource issues that are unique to a specialized library with a medium-sized staff, lacking the resources of a traditional university campus. The case concludes with a list of barriers and facilitators to success and a summary of lessons learned. Findings– The paper finds that a library with limited staff, funding, and systems development resources can initiate and support an institutional repository. Facilitators of success include clear lines of authority, a strong champion, and the appropriate technology for the project. Originality/value – This paper serves as an example to libraries that are in the beginning phases of developing an institutional repository by discussing the barriers to and facilitators of success.

      Expanding the OPAC

      Piorun, Mary E (2001-05-10)
      Purpose:This poster will describe the process of incorporating the manual card catalogs of seven affiliate hospital libraries into one integrated library system (Voyager by Endeavor). The goal being to provide greater access to library resources for students, residents and physicians at affiliate hospitals by incorporating the book and journal holdings of the health care libraries into one centralized location using Endeavor’s Integrated Library System. Setting/Participants/Resources:The UMass Memorial Health Care system has thirteen affiliate hospitals. Each hospital was invited to participate in this program which offered a computer workstation, software and training, and support. Seven of the hospitals elected to participate. Poster information will include: Overview and evaluation of the project goals and objectives. A presentation describing the planning and implementation of project. A summary of the training methods used to educate representatives from the seven affiliate hospitals. Sample screen shots of the newly expanded OPAC. Statistics reporting the number of records entered to date and usage statistics. Outcomes/Evaluation:All seven participating libraries have successfully setup the computer workstations, attended training, and started adding holding records to the OPAC. Data and comments from the participating libraries will be used to judge the effectiveness of this program and determine if other modules will be offered to the participating libraries, such as serial check in and circulation. Presented at the Medical Library Association Annual Meeting, Orlando, FL, May 20, 2001.

      Training Library Assistants for New Roles

      Fama, Jane; Ingrassia, Barbara (2009-10-09)
      The Lamar Soutter Library (LSL) at UMass Medical School responded to budget cuts, technology advances, and the changing needs of its patrons by creating an innovative staff development program. This presentation describes the development of the cross-training, which included specific job function training as well as Microsoft skills and basic library skills. The training required to eliminate the reference desk and move to a single service desk staffed only by support staff is also explained. All training was developed and conducted by existing library staff. Presented at The October Conference: Biomedical Libraries at Dartmouth College, Dartmouth, NH, October 9, 2009. "Staff Development on a Shoestring."
