Caltech’s institutional repository for faculty approved research results
and other content.
http://coda.caltech.edu/
This repository was launched in 2000 and has grown to include electronic
theses, technical reports, books, conference papers, and oral histories
from the Caltech archives. The repository is organized by the authority
responsible for the content. That may be a department, individual
faculty member or institute unit. See below for the list and links to
the different repositories. The library is currently exploring
technology for offering federated searching of all the content.
Caltech CODA (Collection of Open Digital Archives) reached a couple of
new milestones at the end of November. Overall, the archives provide
access to more than 13,500 books, dissertations, articles, technical
reports, patents, websites, and other scholarly materials.
The largest archive, CaltechAUTHORS
<http://authors.library.caltech.edu/>, moved past the 8100 record level.
It attracted the interest of one of our Nobel laureates as a possible
tool for providing access to his entire body of work. Librarians are
actively working with the professor in securing the necessary rights and
permissions from publishers to make his vision a reality. More on this
story as it develops.
CaltechETD <http://etd.caltech.edu/> passed the 4000 record level,
providing online access to 45% of the Institute's almost 9000
dissertations. Electronic theses have been mandatory at Caltech since
July 2002 and became the version of record in 2007.
