CARL Canadian Repositories CoP: "Going Beyond Articles: What Else Belongs in IR"

This year’s Open Access Week theme, “Community Over Commercialization,” asked us to consider how open scholarship can serve the needs and the interests of the academic community and the public. Institutional repositories have an important role to play in this. As community-owned infrastructure, repositories are capable of sharing and preserving a diverse range of research outputs that are often absent from conventional academic publications but that can contribute to current and future scholarship in meaningful and enduring ways. During this session, panelists from across Canada will discuss their perspectives and experiences with institutional repositories used to host a range of scholarly outputs, including grey literature, community-based research products, creative works, open education resources, and more. Participants will be asked to consider the scope of content housed in their own institutions’ repositories and the challenges and opportunities that this presents. (En anglais).
