[GOAL] Re: [SCHOLCOMM] New Year's challenge for repository developers and managers: awesome cross-search

Dear Heather,



Thanks so much for sharing the Digital Commons Network with the group, and
we hope everyone has had a chance to view it.



RE: working across platforms, we would welcome materials from other
repositories if any academic institution wanted to participate. For those
of you who are interested, here are a few things to keep in mind:




   - The Digital Commons Network is dedicated to open access. For this
   reason, every record must have a full text that is completely free of
   restriction.
   - We believe in associating all records with the branding of the
   institution that made them available. We would ask for the approved logo of
   every participating institution.
   - In each Commons of the Digital Commons Network, we feature several
   Most Popular lists. Example:
   http://network.bepress.com/social-and-behavioral-sciences/ . The lists
   are determined by download count, and we would need those per record we
   include.
   - Every article page and PDF provides links back to the Digital Commons
   Network. Examples: http://docs.lib.purdue.edu/lib_fsdocs/15/ and
   http://docs.lib.purdue.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1023&context=lib_fsdocs.
   We designed the network in this fashion in order to help bring like
   scholarship together.  We would ask that any participating IR provide a
   reciprocal path to the scholarship of others.



Thanks again, and I look forward to hearing from anyone who would like to
participate.
