Cliff Lynch to give closing keynote at #or11 Always entertaining and inspiring!

Cliff Lynch at #or11 opportunity to reflect where we are, one decade on with institutional repositories

Cliff using no slides & eschewing numbers but feels measuring content is still an issue, there's a range of radically diff't metrics #or11

Lynch identifies the interplay between open access and institutional management as a 'really interesting' area #or11

Lynch: "IRs are systems to support policy decisions, not ends in themselves." CAN I GET AN AMEN? #or11

"IRs are tools to support policy choices, not ends in themselves." —Clifford Lynch plenary #or11

Pepositories are services to support policy, not ends in themselves - Clifford Lynch http://t.co/UOhIQpZ #OR11

lynch: repositories are services to support policy choices, not just a means to an end. #or11

#or11 Lynch: We've moved to curation/preservation of research literature, and capture of research data. [Next: interaction with data?]

Lynch: Repositories are services to support policies not an end in themselves. Policy, policy, policy.... #or11

Lynch: are IR's always the right choice to advance policy decisions? would subject repos be more appropriate #or11

Clifford Lynch: "Don't confuse mechanism w/ policy. Have a clear idea of content/policy and mission going forward when building repos #or11

*chuckle* Lynch: I worry about things that have "blue ribbon" in their name. #or11

#or11 Lynch: Quoting: Universities have been cowardly in taking responsibility for curating their research outputs.

Wondering how pervasive the verb 'to reposit' (to deposit into a repository) is? I've heard it a few times at #or11 now.

One mild criticism: These convos didn't happen because of IRs. IRs are just tools. REPO MGRS started these convos. #or11

C. Lynch: "Repositories/data curation can greatly assist in connection among public between greater good and scholarly research" #or11

the last session "General Track Closing Ceremonies" has started. Closing plenary by Clifford Lynch. he is my ideal man. #or11

Looking back Lynch's seminal paper Institutional Repositories: Essential Infrastructure for Scholarship (2003) http://flpbd.it/Movh #or11

Lynch: "We've built this whole bibliometric edifice, but we've built it on HORRIBLY dirty [author] data." #or11

Lynch: Publishing names should be part of an Institution's ERP systems #or11

"Metadata has been a problem, is a problem, and will be a problem for repositories" Cliff Lynch #or11

What's the difference between a digital collection and a digital repository? Often, it's who does the curation. Cliff Lynch. #or11

#or11 Lynch: how does repo sit with other institutional infrastructure systems? Boundaries problematic: IR vs DL, vs LMS, vs lecture capture
