"CARL Canadian Repositories Community of Practice May Call – A Practical Guide to Open Infrastructure for Institutional Repository Managers

The goal of the panel is to help bridge the gap between the broader world of open infrastructure, standards, and movements (e.g., OpenAIRE, CORE, COAR, and more), and the day-to-day work of a repository manager. Gabriela Mircea (CARL Visiting Program Officer–Metadata Strategies & Scholaris) will help frame the panel discussion and start with a CARL-centric overview for the Canadian repository context. Panelists will help provide a practical approach to questions such as: if one day I realize I have a spare hour to work towards bringing my repository better in line with these standards and movements, what is a first step I can take? What about if I have a whole week? Or perhaps the opportunity to pursue a bigger project? This panel aims to start to lay out a pathway from wherever your repository is today to participation in broader open infrastructure and the future of scholarly communication."
