Supporting open science on a small budget: the role of the Mines Repository

The Mines Repository is a piece of the puzzle to support open science initiatives at the the Colorado School of Mines Arthur Lakes Library. Even as a small Carnegie R1 institution, the librarians provide a wide variety of open science services to Mines students and faculty.

Mapping graduate student workshops to career readiness frameworks

Abstract – Along with campus collaborators, the Colorado School of Mines library has facilitated a workshop series for graduate students since 2019. Recent developments inspired us to reexamine past workshop offerings in the context of career readiness. To understand strengths and weaknesses in workshop coverage, we compared our past offerings to frameworks from the Perkins Collaborative Research Network (PCRN) and the National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE). The results of this effort highlight strengths and weaknesses of the workshop series as a whole and its composition of library-led topics and externally-led topics. This paper examines our analysis, the results of which will help guide future workshop topic selection to better prepare graduate students for their lives after graduation.

The Bigger the better?: a comparison of institutional repository statistics

Abstract – This poster presents usage data on institutional repositories at research intensive institutions across the United States and South Africa. Both Mines and CMU host institutional repositories to disseminate their communities’ scholarly outputs. This poster compares CMU and Mines with each other as well as with other academic institutions in South Africa. Various elements on the institution, their libraries, and their repositories were compared. We used data on institutional repositories, including size, content type, and numbers of repositories for our comparisons. Data considered in these comparisons also included institution-level data, such as student enrollment.

The bigger the better?: a comparison of institutional repository statistics and sizes across Carnegie R1 institutions

Note: A prior title of this poster was “Welcome to Carnegie R1: How does the Mines Library and Repository Compare?”

Abstract – This project compares the Colorado School of Mines (Mines) Library and Repository with other similarly sized public institutions and with the other R1 universities in Colorado. This poster presents data on institutional repositories at research intensive institutions across the United States, with a specific focus on Mines. There are currently 146 Research 1 (R1) institutions in the Carnegie Classification: 107 public institutions and 39 private institutions. Colorado School of Mines is compared to 27 R1 public universities that have the smallest library budgets (salaries plus materials). This is the 4th quartile of 107 public universities found in the NCES database. Mines is also compared to five R1 institutions in the state of Colorado.
