From: Michael Chromey <[log in to unmask]> Date: Wed, 27 Apr 2016 14:39:24 -0400 Colleagues: The Atlanta University Center (AUC) Robert W. Woodruff Library supports the teaching, learning and research missions of four institutions of higher education that comprise the world’s largest consortium of HBCUs: Clark Atlanta University, the Interdenominational Theological Center, Morehouse College and Spelman College. We have a hosted open access institutional repository with bepress (Digital Commons). Currently, we are investigating two alternative metrics platforms that will allow us to embed metric applications directly into the IR. The products under evaluation are Plum Analytics (now an EBSCO company) and Altmetric (a Digital Science company). We would love to hear feedback from colleagues regarding the following three questions: 1. Do you currently embed an alternative metrics API in your institutional repository? 2. What alternative metrics application do you utilize in your institutional repository? 3. If you do employ an alternative metrics application/API, what platform do you use to host your institutional repository? Responses can be sent directly to me - mchromey[at]auctr.edu. We will be more than happy to share aggregated and anonymized results with members of the listserv. As always, thank you in advance for your time and cooperation in this informal survey!
