ScholarWorks Enhancements
David
Abstract-only works
Some of these items have files to upload, but still aren’t considered full-text items
The icon in place of the document thumbnail indicates no full text available to download. Will this be clear to users?
Managers will be able to check a box in the description section to indicate that it’s an abstract, in addition to the uploads section.
This will allow for easier limiting of results, and prevent abstracts from being harvested in Primo.
DOI Minting
Discussion during the DR Annual Meeting, with some campuses interested in minting DOIs for repository items.
CrossRef and DataCite are the two common tools, but neither is optimal.
CrossRef is cheaper, but the workflows are better suited for batch DOI assignments for journal issues. It would be a complex process to integrate it into Hyrax.
DataCite is more expensive, based out of Eurpoe which could cause privacy concerns, but it’s better designed for one-off DOIs. It has a simpler integration into Hyrax
Potential use cases for minted DOI:
ETDs- current, limited to only those that are publicly available
Datasets
One-off requests
Would they be applied retroactively to existing works?
Would they be applied to newly digitized (but older) works?

Dates of ETDs in ScholarWorks
Ran into an issue with the dates for ETD since these projects come from Grad Studies 1-2 months after they’re approved.
The date added to scholarworks served as the date of publication which caused confusion for those searching for the project by date.
SF and SJ both use only the year for ETDs to avoid these issues. Fullerton uses date and an assigned month to indicate the semester.
