Beyond the Repository: A Mixed Method Approach to Providing Access to Collections Online
Garrison, Brian Wade
New Review of Academic Librarianship, v19 n3 p291-299 2013
After providing access to over 100 video interviews conducted by a professor with notable entertainers and personalities from film through an institutional repository, an experiment was conducted to discover whether a larger audience could be gained by adding a subset of 32 of these videos to YouTube. The results, over 400,000 views, indicate that libraries should cultivate a mixed method approach to providing access to digital content.
