You are invited to a JIBS User Group seminar: Are institutional repositories taking over the world? UK universities and research councils are establishing institutional repositories, but are these repositories the real answer to making research output more accessible? In this one day seminar, speakers from existing repository projects will illustrate how their institutional repository was implemented and what rights management issues need to be taken into account, and how well they think these repositories are improving accessibility to research. Speakers representing other stakeholders will outline what impact they think institutional repositories are having on publishers, funding agencies and research councils.
