Abstract: Institutional repositories (IR) help to increase public value, rating, prestige and visibility of both individual researchers and the whole universities. Repositories are filled with their own content and provide access to other researchers around the world. The number of IRs is growing due to the involvement in the work on their creation of university libraries. Libraries want all materials in the university is IR to be in demand by users and used in the educational and scientific process. Therefore, in addition to the repository’s own search engine and the search indexes ‘Google’ and ‘Yandex’, IR resources should be in the electronic catalog, that brings them as close as possible to the reader. The article describes the business processes introduced by Samara University library into the practice of working with electronic resources of the university repository.

Abstract: There are policy, technical, and workflow gaps in library efforts to preserve online journal literature. Since libraries are increasingly involved in journal publishing, HathiTrust, a shared preservation-quality digital repository, is a natural place to archive and provide access to journal literature to ensure its long-term preservation and discoverability. The University of Michigan Library is funding the creation of mPach, an open-source, end-to-end publishing system in which archiving in HathiTrust happens as a byproduct of publication rather than being carried out after the fact. The architecture of mPach, its envisioned workflow, and plans for creating a shared infrastructure for publishing open-access journals are all summarized.

Abstract: The paper summarizes the experience of the author in investigation of open source publishing information systems that was done for several years in Kazan Federal University. The emphasis placed on practical application of results for scientific journals of mathematics. We discuss additional functions that are needed for editorial office of electronic journals. We also suggest implementation of these functions by additional plug-ins for the Open Journal System.
