The University of Rochester is completing the two-year Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) grant “Enhancing Repositories for the Next Generation of Academics,” which focuses on the work practices of graduate students researching and writing their dissertations. An understanding of the work practices of graduate students enabled the team to design a set of authoring tools to meet graduate student needs for individual and collaborative writing and to make it easy for them to move completed documents from the authoring system into the repository. IR+ will enter an alpha release stage in January 2009, as an open source repository software. The key features of the software include authoring and collaboration tools, file versioning, researcher pages, faceted searching, and a new administration interface for greater flexibility in collection management. This presentation will highlight some of the findings of the graduate student work practices research, and it will include a demonstration of the functionality of the IR+ system.
