Dear Colleagues, 

The U.S. Repository Network (USRN) is partnering with COAR to serve as the Responsible Organization for U.S. entries in the COAR International Repository Directory (IRD). We are asking U.S. repositories to review and verify their repository record information included in the IRD to ensure accuracy and completeness or to add a new IRD record if your repository isn’t already included.

Please check for your repository listing here and then respond about your record using our Google Form. From there, we’ll work to get your repository record added or updated. 

Thank you for helping strengthen the visibility and reliability of U.S. open repositories.

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out. 

Sincerely,
Jennifer Beamer, PhD
