From Domestic Art to Graphic Design: Reflecting academic restructuring in institutional repositories

Abstract

<p>As programs and departments merge, faculty retire and institutional priorities shift, academic restructuring can have significant implications for institutional repositories. If repositories are arranged into communities, the reorganization of campus units can quickly make repository organization out of date. This poster communicates how the use of archival description can allow repositories to accurately link scholarship to the campus units that participated in its creation, while maintaining disciplinary continuity through academic restructuring.</p>
