The Islandora team will be offering a half day tutorial on the new Institutional Repository framework at this year's International Conference on Preservation of Digital Objects (iPRES) in Lisbon, Portugal on September 2, 2013: http://ipres2013.ist.utl.pt/t1_6-iPRES2013-IslandoraIRTutorial.pdf Islandora’s new Institutional Repository (IR) framework meets the needs of organizations that need a complex system to manage their constant flow of intellectual output and collect, organize and preserve master's theses, journal articles, dissertations, research and much more. Features include numerous export and citation styles, enhanced options to import publications using identifiers such as DOI and PMID, publication rights management, and detailed repository statistics. The Islandora IR modules are fully compatible with the standard set of Islandora modules, so you can ingest and manage images, videos, books, and other content types alongside scholarly publications. This tutorial with begin with an overview of Islandora, focusing on the new Institutional Repository framework. Using an online sandbox, participants will be guided through the process of creating new citations, publications, and other supported content types (images, videos, books, etc.). They will then learn how to search, save and export citations in a variety of formats and citation styles. Collection management, including publication embargo, search configurations, and repository statistics will also be covered. No prior experience with Islandora is required, so please sign up for this tutorial when you register for the conference: http://ipres2013.ist.utl.pt/registration.html.
