The University of Rochester is pleased to announce the 1.0 production version of its new open source institutional repository software platform, IR+.

The statistics excludes web crawler results, and includes the ability to retroactively remove previously unknown crawlers or download counts that should not be included, for more accurate statistical reporting. - Researcher Pages, to allow users (faculty, graduate students, researchers) to highlight their work and post their CV o Example of a current researcher: https://urresearch.rochester.edu/viewResearcherPage.action?researcherId= 30 <https://urresearch.rochester.edu/viewResearcherPage.action?researcherId =30> - Ability to create "Personal publications" that allows users to have full control over their work and see download counts without publishing into the repository. - An online workspace where users can store files they are working on, and if needed, share files with colleagues or their thesis advisor. - Contributor pages where users can view download counts for all publications that they are associated with in the repository. o Example of a contributor page: https://urresearch.rochester.edu/viewContributorPage.action?personNameId =20 <https://urresearch.rochester.edu/viewContributorPage.action?personNameI d=20> - Faceted Searching (example search for: Graduate Student Research) o https://urresearch.rochester.edu/searchRepositoryItems.action?query=Medi cal+Image <https://urresearch.rochester.edu/searchRepositoryItems.action?query=Med ical+Image> - Embargos (example below embargoed until 2011-01-01) o https://urresearch.rochester.edu/institutionalPublicationPublicView.acti on?institutionalItemId=8057 <https://urresearch.rochester.edu/institutionalPublicationPublicView.act ion?institutionalItemId=8057> - Name Authority Control (Notice changes in last name) o https://urresearch.rochester.edu/viewContributorPage.action?personNameId =209 <https://urresearch.rochester.edu/viewContributorPage.action?personNameI d=209> You can see the IR+ system customized for our university and in action here: https://urresearch.rochester.edu <https://urresearch.rochester.edu> A further explanation of highlights can be found on my researcher page here: https://urresearch.rochester.edu/researcherPublicationView.action?resear cherPublicationId=11 <https://urresearch.rochester.edu/researcherPublicationView.action?resea rcherPublicationId=11> The documentation for the system (install/user/administration) with lots of pictures can be found on my researcher page here: https://urresearch.rochester.edu/researcherPublicationView.action?resear cherPublicationId=16 <https://urresearch.rochester.edu/researcherPublicationView.action?resea rcherPublicationId=16> We would be happy to give you a personal tour of the system and the features it provides.
