Digital Repository of the University of Belgrade PHAIDRA and the eScience portal.

Sažetak

The digital repository PHAIDRA, based on the Fedora system and created at the University of Vienna, has been serving as the technical foundation for depositing doctoral dissertations and other works produced at the University of Belgrade for over a decade. With the establishment of the eScience portal, the possibility of engaging the PHAIDRA infrastructure for the dissemination and presentation of contributions from scientific research organizations and researchers was opened. Utilizing the PHAIDRA system required technical and organizational adjustments, along with the initiation of various educational and professional activities to ensure a sustainable approach that would not compromise the repository's initial policy. Consequently, another system (Phaidra Research) was initially launched for all institutions outside the University of Belgrade. A series of training sessions were organized for interested organizations looking to input their works into the PHAIDRA system for transmission to eScience. Finally, the opportunity was provided to process library materials through all available systems, including the repository, as one of the library services. In both PHAIDRA systems, more than 20 collections have been created, comprising several thousand objects. After a year and a half of initiating this process, not only have the repository's capabilities been enhanced, but its functions and roles in the research community have also expanded.
