General Workshop Calendar and Plan
DRS Training Series
- Program 1 - Introduction to the DRS (1 hour)
- Initial programs will only be open to Library Staff. Later programs will be offered to Northeastern Faculty, Staff, and Students
- This program will serve as a general overview of the DRS as a tool. It will cover the history of the DRS (briefly), its intended uses and functionality, and what it can help users to accomplish in their own work. Two or three current projects will be reviewed as examples of how the DRS is being used in the NU community. There will also be a demonstration of the site, including interface features, uploading and downloading content, and My DRS. This program will either be held in a room with computers, or laptops will be provided, and participants will be encouraged to bring their own technology. Participants will be encouraged to follow along on their own machines.
- Program 2 - DRS Training - Discovering materials in the DRS (1 hour)
- Initial programs will only be open to Library Staff. Later programs will be offered to Northeastern Faculty, Staff, and Students
- During this hour-long program Library staff will learn about:
- Interface features
- The DRS community and collection structure
- The difference between managed and unmanaged content
- Discovering content by searching and browsing

- Program 3 - DRS Training - Getting materials into the DRS (1 hour)

- Program 4 - From IRis to the DRS (1 hour)
- Open to Northeastern Faculty, Staff, and Students
- This session is designed to help current users of the Library's institutional repository, IRis, learn about the Digital Repository Service. The DRS will replace IRis as our repository for theses, dissertations, research publications, faculty presentations, and other University materials starting in July 2014. This session will discuss the differences between the two systems, and how IRis users can transition to the DRS. It will also offer one-on-one support for changes to migrated objects.
