Description

The necessity of providing free global online access to emerging international responses relevant to librarianship in international technological universities has been a focus of the Library and Information Science community. The International Association of Scientific and Technological University Libraries (IATUL) describes itself as an international organization that “provides an international forum for the exchange of ideas relevant to librarianship by technological universities throughout the world. It also provides library directors and senior managers an opportunity to develop a collaborative approach to solving common problems.” Purdue e-Pubs (www.purdue.edu/epubs) is one of three institutional repositories at Purdue Universities and provides free global online access to research findings and scholarship from Purdue University and our partners. In 2010 the 31st annual IATUL conference was held at Purdue University. Since 2010, the proceedings of the annual conference have been deposited, disseminated, and made globally accessible through the Purdue e-Pubs Repository. Since 2010 the Purdue e-Pubs repository has worked to archive and showcase the research and ideas presented during the 40 year history of the IATUL conference resolving the inherent issues with gray literature. IATUL proceedings are now discoverable (e.g. through Google Scholar), citable, and preserved. Authors of presentations also receive credit that they may not have otherwise been through monthly download reports, and emerging altmetric statistics. This poster and electronic display will present the history, current state, and future possibilities of the relationship of the IATUL conference proceedings and the Purdue e-Pubs Repository, reconceived as a publishing platform.
