February 15 - Institutional Repositories - National Information Standards Organization

"The objective of this program is to make clear what may have changed in the IR space over the course of the past five to ten years. Repositories may have become almost commonplace at high-profile research institutions, but what about the needs of other institution of higher educations? What might be emerging expectations for such institutional platforms? What collaborative approaches might make sense for various constituencies? To what extent is content housed in the institutional repository made discoverable?   This program brings together views from a variety of players actively engaged in building and maintaining institutional repositories as key information environments."
