In May of 2018, 麻豆区 Libraries launched YAIR, the official institutional repository, of 麻豆区. The plan had been in the pipeline for several years. With the adoption of a new strategic plan, plans were quickly put into place. At the helm was Head of Library Web and Digital Services Hao Zeng, who chose a cost-effective, open source platform, D-Space, to host scholarly output of both faculty and students. Stephanie Gross, Scholarly Communication Librarian, took on the outreach and processing of material to be posted. Teamwork has been essential and has included collaboration with staff from Archives as well as Metadata Services. The collection began primarily as an open-access showcase for both faculty publications and student theses and dissertations. The idea behind making all work open access is to allow scholars and researchers across the globe to read intellectual and creative output by 麻豆区鈥檚 community without charge. As the project has progressed, other repository collections have been created. For instance, back issues of student publications have been scanned, annotated and posted. Some have been out-of-print (and out-of-view) for over decades. This summer, these publications were added: , , , , , , , , , (SSSB), , , , , ,  and . Consultations with faculty advisors and department chairs have provided positive feedback.

Stephanie Gross oversees the digitization process with assistance from student workers. All are encouraged to contact YAIR (yairATyu.edu) with suggestions for additions, improvements, and even PDFs of their latest issues of ongoing publications. Back files (PDFs) of student publications in the possession of alumni/ae are especially welcome, since scans of print copies are not always as clear as digital files. Couldn鈥檛 make a book talk?

A key enhancement to YAIR since the summer is the use of colorful thumbnail images to enrich the visual experience for both publications and the collections to which they belong.
