Verify your repositories in the COAR IRD

[Heather Greer Klein]

Hello Samverans, 

We need your help to keep repository record information up-to-date in the COAR International Repository Directory (IRD). This is important for both Samvera and non-Samvera platforms active at your institution.

For Samvera platforms globally: The Samvera Community serves as the Responsible Organization for all Avalon Media System, Hyku, and Hyrax entries in the COAR International Repository Directory (IRD), regardless of location. You can email Heather Greer Klein (hea...@samvera.org) to add or update your Avalon, Hyku, or Hyrax entries. The community uses the IRD as the source of truth for installations of these platforms, and we appreciate your help keeping entries up-to-date.

For all non-Samvera platforms in the U.S.: the U.S. Repository Network (USRN) serves as the Responsible Organization. USRN is asking all other 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 the USRN Google Form. 

For all non-Samvera platforms outside the U.S.: please check the IRD for your record and contact the Responsible Organization listed for your country.  

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

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

Sincerely,

Heather (Samvera Community) and Jennifer (SPARC)
