[Dspace-general] shining stars anyone?

[Ingrid Mason]

Hi there,

 

I have been trawling the 'net to find an example of an academic, who has
deposited research outputs in an institutional repository and then
linked to these records in the repository (using the handles or even the
URL for the fulltext file) from their personal webpage.  I have been
somewhat surprised to find that academics, that are also enthusiastic
depositors of their research outputs, still seem to be pointing to
locally stored fulltext files, rather than linking to and using the
handles (or URL for the fulltext file) in a repository that they have
deposited their papers in.  Is this because they simply don't have time
to rewrite their webpages?  

 

Does anyone have a shining star that they use to illustrate that this is
a great (and simple) means of highlighting their works within their
personal webpages?  Are there academics around the place that have taken
this opportunity up?  

 

The only example I could find that vaguely fits this category is the
Otago Eprints repository, with a single link from the School of
Business' website to their eprints repository:
http://www.business.otago.ac.nz/com/research/index.html 

 

There are examples of collections of academic's works within
repositories, does anyone have a few shining stars in this manner too?

 

Examples (and insights) welcomed.

 

Cheers, Ingrid
