Design/methodology/approach – The paper describes the e-submission tool, its procedures and evaluates its use. Findings – The tool improved the IR service, which can be certified by the continuing evaluation process. This process produced the following main results: the automated batch importing feature should be integrated into the e-submission system; IR service tutorials should be given to the secretariats, faculty and students; and in-house service marketing should be conducted. Research limitations/implications – The present study provides a starting-point for further research in DL open source software. Originality/value – The paper shows that the tool helped NTUA users in submitting their e-theses, and the IR staff in organizing efficiently the service workflow and the data integration into the DSpace system. The process weaknesses rectifications will enhanse the service and allow its broadness to all NTUA departments. This tool implementation may start a debate to the DSpace community in using proxies between DSpace platform and the end user, as an alternative.

Κουής, Δημήτρης; Κόκκινος, Διονύσης; Kouis, Dimitris; Kokkinos, Dionysis Στην παρούσα εργασία προτείνεται ένα μοντέλο Εικονικής Βιβλιοθήκης. Συγκεκριμένα, περιγράφεται ένα μοντέλο Εικονικής Βιβλιοθήκης με τεχνικό ψηφιακό περιεχόμενο, με σκοπό την ανάδειξη των ερευνητικών δεδομένων και παραγώγων του Ε.Μ.Π. Η αρχιτεκτονική του προτεινόμενου μοντέλου περιλαμβάνει δύο βασικούς άξονες: τις προηγμένες υπηρεσίες πρόσβασης και τις υπηρεσίες δημιουργίας ψηφιακού περιεχομένου. Στις υπηρεσίες πρόσβασης, από τη μια, εντάσσονται η εικονική περιήγηση στους χώρους της βιβλιοθήκης, τα εικονικά ράφια και το εικονικό γραφείο εξυπηρέτησης χρηστών. Από την άλλη, στις υπηρεσίες δημιουργίας ψηφιακού περιεχομένου συμπεριλαμβάνονται το Ιδρυματικό Αποθετήριο, η Ηλεκτρονική Δημοσίευση και οι ειδικές ψηφιακές συλλογές σε συνδυασμό με την Υπηρεσία Αναδρομικής Απόθεσης υλικού στην Εικονική Βιβλιοθήκη. Από την υλοποίηση του προτεινόμενου μοντέλου αναμένεται και επιδιώκεται η συγκέντρωση του επιστημονικού ψηφιακού περιεχομένου που συνιστά πολύτιμο κεφάλαιο για το Ε.Μ.Π. σε ένα μόνο κεντρικό σημείο, με την παράλληλη ανάπτυξη και παροχή καινοτόμων υπηρεσιών.; This paper seeks to establish a Virtual Library (VL) model. More specifically, a suggested model of a VL with technical digital content is described with regard to aggregating and displaying the research papers or data produced at National Technical University of Athens (NTUA). The architecture of the model consists of two main categories: the advanced access services and the digital content creation/production and aggregation services. As far as the access services are concerned, there will be virtual tours, virtual shelves and Virtual Reference Desk. On the other hand, the digital content production and aggregation services will include an integrated Institutional Repository (IR), e-publishing and special digital collections in conjunction with a Retrospective Material Depositing Service. The twin goals of the implementation of the proposed VL model are to gather all NTUA’s scientific and technical content and, simultaneously, to provide new, personalized and advanced services. 15 σ.

The main objectives of this paper can be summarized into three major points. Primarily, to evaluate the IR service pilot period, focusing on the ETD submission process. Secondarily, to refine and improve the above mentioned process and, finally, to promote the concept of self-archiving and open access. The project was undertaken by implementing a web-based survey, targeting on the ETD submission users’ population. The data were imported into and processed by statistical analysis software. The key results were exposed online, as part of the IR system, updated in real time, since the survey is an ongoing procedure. The statistical analysis produced useful results regarding various aspects of the IR service. The major descriptive statistics focused on user groups, administrative staff and procedure grading, as well as access policy selection. Moreover, cross tabulations and correlations were created between all variables, for example “university department” and/or “ETD type” associated with “access policy”. A positive user attitude towards the procedure was noted, which motivates us to further enhance and expand the service. Our first milestone is to broaden the service to incorporate all the university departments. For that to happen, the statistical results will be used to forecast, define and, finally, determine the process needs, both in technical and human resources terms. Process weaknesses detected will be rectified, wherever possible, whereas process strengths will be used to market the service. At the same time, certain improvements, such as the transition from a semi-automated metadata importing process into the main IR (DSpace), to a fully automated one (batch), are already in development.
