Sally and Caths questions

Sally - Academic Bibliography at Ghent
Ghent and Lund are collaborating on the online system. At Ghent an academic enters the detail of their research output. Until recently they only had to input the metadata but now they have to deposit file as well. This the main database for registration of research output and used to provide information to external bodies as required (if academics do not deposit material then this will result in a reduced allocation of monies to Faculty). At the moment they can choose to have open or closed access but the the desired end state is full open access. There is a quality control check and two staff check entries to ensure minimum quality is maintained. Files are uploaded as PDF. They are testing to open up the system more broadly for the deposit of other digital material from academics eg photos

Cath - Records and archives at Ghent
Very traditional and paper based systems for records but with the appointment of a new manager for the area they keen to develop a new records management model for Ghent. The Archives (University records) will move to be part of the Library to be managed alongside the heritage collection.
