In May 2018, UNC Libraries purchased a report from 1Science which listed 47,000 articles authored by UNC researchers. Although the vendor characterized the report as an out-of-the-box tool designed to fill an institutional repository, we found that it would take significant work to make it usable for UNC’s Hyrax-based institutional repository, the Carolina Digital Repository (CDR). In this presentation, we will discuss the issues that we identified, including scripting errors, inconsistent metadata and rights concerns. We will describe the plans and processes to fix these issues and to adapt the metadata for our repository. Additionally, we will address best practices for uploads and future plans.

The new repository houses scholarly materials in support of UNC’s Open Access policy and supports many existing workflows and use cases such as student papers, OA books, and datasets. In this presentation we will describe existing and new use cases and show how we customized Hyrax to meet those needs. We will also share lessons learned and future plans for the CDR.
