Description
Temple University Libraries are celebrating the 5th anniversary of our institutional repository, TUScholarShare in 2025. In this presentation, we will give an overview of the first 5 years of the repository and provide an update from our first MIRL presentation in 2021 on the use of an institutional repository to share strategies for evidence synthesis projects. Evidence synthesis projects are an important research method based on transparency and depositing strategies reinforces that ethos. Librarians and information specialists working on these projects often look for existing searches as part of their workflow, and we have expanded the service over the years to include the PRISMA numbers, search strategies, and raw data files used for screening. At the time of our first presentation ours was a novel service, and as the service has grown, we have also expanded our collaboration with units across the libraries at Temple. The presentation will include statistics on deposits, downloads, related publications, and the distribution of departments the service has worked with over the past five years.

TUScholarShare Update: Celebrating 5 Years of Search Data Deposits
Temple University Libraries are celebrating the 5th anniversary of our institutional repository, TUScholarShare in 2025.
