Extension: Call for Proposals - Northeast Institutional Repository Day 2023 (NIRD23)

[Erin Jerome]

The Northeast Institutional Repository Day 2023 (NIRD23) Program Committee is pleased to issue its Call for Proposals for the fifth annual Northeast Institutional Repository Day, a free event that brings together those in the Northeast (and beyond!) who manage or are interested in institutional repositories, digital collections, and digital preservation. With the success of our recent events and in an effort to continue to make NIRD available to as many participants as possible, we are keeping NIRD23 a totally virtual event. 

 

November 30th and December 1st, 2023

Time: 11/30 afternoon ET; 12/1 morning ET

Virtual event (Zoom link will be provided to registrants)  

 

The NIRD23 Program Committee welcomes any proposal related to institutional repositories, especially work that can be applicable to other institutions, even those working on different platforms. Tell us what helped or hindered your work in these or other areas: 

• IR metadata interoperability, ingest, or maintenance;  
• Stewardship of digital files in various formats; 
• Repository migration or updates;
• Finding new collections by building relationships with IR depositors or contributors; 
• IRs as library publishing platforms;
• Improving accessibility, equity, and inclusion for IR contributors and users;
• Ethical considerations in policy shaping 

 

Proposals that are platform agnostic are particularly encouraged. The Program Committee is not accepting proposals from vendor representatives for NIRD23. 

 

The Program Committee is requesting that proposals fall into the following formats: 

• Lightning Talk (10 min) - a brief, free-standing presentation, with or without slides
• Presentation (20 min) - a more comprehensive, free-standing presentation or panel
• Workshop - an instructor-led workshop on a topic or tool (please note: accepted workshops may be scheduled outside the stated conference time) 

 

Important dates: 

 

• Deadline for submission: October 13, 2023
• Notification of acceptance: October 31, 2023

 

Please submit your proposal using this form.

[Villa, Lisa]

Hi,and thank you  for the NIRD2-23 call-for-papers extension.

I submitted a proposal on or around Sept. 27 entitled "Signs and Wonders:  Integrating Multiple Systems to Digitize the Deaf Catholic Archives"

I can't seem to find a confirmation of receipt.  Is that something you could check?  (I don't need to know if the proposal has been accepted, just want to make sure you received it.)

Thanks very much for any assistance or guidance you can provide.

Kind regards,

Lisa
