Building A Digital Repository, Part IV Publicizing Digital Collection

Good product needs to be promoted in an effective way, especially the collection created by the library. We decide to publicize the digital collection on campus wide and beyond campus. Firstly, we try to join consortium user group meetings to exchange the experience from what I have done. On the other side, I have to convince faculty that this is convenient, accurate and easy-access resource, and students will initially taste what it looks like when they have scholarly publications on DSpace.

I know we will have a long way to go, but we are going to employ campus newspaper ELM, presentations and library instruction to publicize the digital collection. In mean time, I will make the digital collection available on our ILS, so users will eventually use it no matter where they will access the collection
