Powering Institutional Repository Growth with OA Switchboard

This poster presents Carnegie Mellon University Libraries' approach to integrating OA Switchboard with CMU's Figshare repository, called KiltHub, to automate the creation of new records for CMU-authored publications. This project leverages OA Switchboard notifications to efficiently add metadata records for Open Access (OA) publications that are not already represented in KiltHub. Through this integration, we hope to provide an accurate representation of nearly all OA publications by CMU authors in the institutional repository. This poster provides an overview of the ongoing project of connecting OA Switchboard with FigShare for an automated data feed, which enables the efficient transfer of standardized metadata for creating new records within KiltHub.
