New Forum for IR Managers
Christy Shorey
Greetings,
Institutional repository managers from libraries at the University of Massachusetts, University of Florida, University of North Texas and Texas A&M University, are collaborating to start the IR Managers Forum. This forum is specifically designed to support information sharing among institutional repository managers, regardless of software platform, institutional setting, or technical expertise.
As IR managers, we often deal with common problems and stand to benefit from understanding how our colleagues approach these issues. Conversations have the potential to help individual managers develop their repository policies, outreach, workflows, and best practices. They can also aid in cross-platform comparisons to identify software features and limitations, larger trends in institutional repositories, and future directions.
