Pisemne prace dyplomowe jako część repozytorium instytucjonalnego AGH w Krakowie. Organizacja i zarządzanie

Abstract

At the end of 2013 the Main Library and the University Computer Centre of the AGH University of Science and Technology (AGH University) joined the conceptual work on the creation of an institutional repository. Entries, requiring universities to check theses with the use of an anti-plagiarism system and to register them in a nationwide repository of diplomas, first noted in the project, and then in the Law on Higher Education act, were the impulse to take up the work. Ultimately, the AGH University’s Repository will contain many other types of objects, but considering the deadlines set forth in the act, activities in the area of theses have become a priority in this project. In 2014 detailed rules for placing documents in the repository were developed. In accordance with Rector’s authorities’ expectations, the development of procedures related to the circulation of current theses and software implementation was completed in June 2015. At the same time, the registration of archive diplomas (which defense was held between October 2009 and May 2015) in a prototype version of the repository has begun. In the paper the conception of the repository and issues related to the organization and management of the project is presented.
