Mark Leggott has an interesting post on how they plan to construct and populate their institutional repository.

> With a minimum of training our hope is that the presentation of a 90% complete IR record will encourage faculty to complete the process. Some future enhancements will include parsing the Sherpa-Romeo record to automatically grab the publisher version where appropriate and implement disseminators to convert word-processing formats. We will be providing the RIB as an example in our packaged open source Drupal/Fedora module, which will be available at the end of September from SourceForge. \[[LoomWare: RIB – Repository in a Box](https://loomware.typepad.com/loomware/2008/09/rib---repositor.html?ref=lorcandempsey.net)\]

They plan to create an up front record of publications by harvesting from existing databases and faculty CVs. They plan to link to the institutional OpenURL resolver and to the [Sherpa-Romeo repository](https://www.sherpa.ac.uk/romeo/?ref=lorcandempsey.net) of publisher policies.  
The intention is to present the faculty member with a set of data that he or she can augment or amend, rather than will an empty slate.

> The individual can click the “Get-It @ UPEI” button to retrieve the final version, if desired, read the publisher open access policy (including a link to the full policy) and add the appropriate version of the pre-post-final print. \[[LoomWare: RIB – Repository in a Box](https://loomware.typepad.com/loomware/2008/09/rib---repositor.html?ref=lorcandempsey.net)\]
