SLADS Research Hub is the open-access institutional repository of the School of Library, Archives and Documentation Studies, Tanzania. It preserves and provides free access to the school's research output — theses, dissertations, journal articles, conference papers, reports and datasets.
What we accept
- Completed theses and dissertations by SLADS students
- Journal articles, conference papers and book chapters by staff and affiliates
- Technical and research reports, working papers and datasets
Every deposit is reviewed by a repository administrator before publication. Depositors accept a non-exclusive licence allowing the repository to preserve and distribute the work under the rights they select.
Access, licensing and embargoes
Records and their descriptive metadata are always openly available. Authors may apply a Creative Commons licence to permit reuse, or retain all rights. A file may be placed under embargo for a fixed period — the metadata stays public and citable while the full text is withheld until the embargo lifts.
Discoverability & harvesting
Record pages expose Google Scholar (Highwire) and Dublin Core metadata, schema.org structured data, and a full XML sitemap, so the collection is indexed by search engines and academic discovery services. Each output also provides ready-to-use APA, BibTeX and RIS citations.
Metadata is also available for harvesting over OAI-PMH 2.0 (Dublin Core, sets by department and resource type), the standard protocol used by aggregators such as BASE, CORE and OpenAIRE. Base URL: /api/oai.
