Webinar on IR as a necessary campus investment
by Subbiah Arunachalam 17 Jan '15

17 Jan '15

Friends: You might wish to register for a one-hour webinar on IRs as a necessary investment. The Repository Today: A Necessary Campus Investment Fri, Jan 23, 2015 12:30 AM - 1:30 AM ISTLet’s face it: library budge ts haven't gotten any better over the past few years. In fact, many have continued to decline. Yet investment in IRs and scholarly communication is on the rise, and the number of institutional repositories worldwide, at institutions of all shapes and sizes, continues to climb. Why is that? More and more colleges and universities have come to recognize that the IR is an essential part of any campus infrastructure, and an indispensable library service. The IR is part of core campus strategies for institutional funding and visibility, student learning and recruitment, and research. Join us to learn how libraries can position the IR as a necessary campus investment. Drawing from the Digital Commons community of nearly 400 institutions, the webinar will share data and examples of necessary IR services and their real-world impact on all corners of campus: faculty, students, centers and departments, and the institution as a whole. We encourage you to invite stakeholders from outside the library who would like to understand the myriad ways that an IR connects to the campus mission. Presented by Irene Kamotsky, Director of Strategic Initiatives, bepress Digital Commons.
