Repository as Product vs.
Repository as Service
Preservation Services
Campus Publications
Originally fell outside the scope of the collecting policy of SMARTech
Repository as Service idea led to an expansion of scope
The Technique & WREK Radio
www.nique.net www.wrek.org
The Technique
We discussed using DSpace as a point-of-entry for newspaper files, but it did not fit the Technique’s needs
The Technique focuses on newspaper operations, rather than storage needs
WREK Radio
No archiving of any radio programs, due to server space and licensing (music)
Dedicated staff were losing important original programs (campus interviews, etc.)
Archives harvests selected radio programs, adds to SMARTech
Extremely popular items in SMARTech
Aardvark – Dark Archive
Copyright constraints
Privacy issues Campus

• Collections of digital files not suitable for the IR grew more and more rapidly
Aardvark Backbone - DSpace
