IUScholarWorks
is a set of services to make the work of IU scholars freely available.
Allows IU departments, institutes, centers and research units to easily
make their scholarly materials openly available on the web, centrally
archived and preserved for the long term.
Supports the electronic publication of journals, offering a low-cost
solution to administrative and publishing functions of managing a
journal.

IUScholarWorks Drop Box Service
• Is a service that we conceived to allow
IUScholarWorks to be able to participate in
automated workflows for the ingest of content
• Evolved from a system developed to process and
ingest electronic thesis and dissertations into DSpace
• Allows users or processes to simply upload
prepackaged items to a folder on a server

Technical challenges going forward
• Virtual hosting and identity branding
– how to make something look standalone when it’s
part of something bigger
– DSpace and OJS do a good job of reusing interface
components
• great for support and development
• not so great for creating differing visual identities
Virtual branding nearly impossible with DSpace interface

Manakin to the rescue…
Manakin is the next generation DSpace interface that uses XML & the
Apache Cocoon framework to enable communities and collections to
establish a unique look and feel.

Virtual branding is easier in default OJS interface
• You can associate a journal with a Cascading Style Sheet that
overrides site style elements
• But only as far as CSS allows; the page structure can’t be changed
• There is no alternative interface like Manakin is to DSpace
