Institutional Repositories: Looking Back and Moving Forward

Abstract:  To celebrate the 10th anniversary of SMIRC, we are convening a panel discussion featuring a group of IR managers with at least a decade of experience in the field. What are some of the major changes they have observed with IRs over the last decade? What have been some of their greatest successes and challenges? What have been some of the most important lessons they have learned along the way, and what wisdom would they pass along to anyone just getting started in IRs? And finally, where do they see IRs heading in the years to come? Join us as we discuss the answers to these questions and more.
