Hi Montserrat Like lots of other cloud services (OneDrive, iCloud, etc), Alma offers a dedicated digital object store, but the value of EPrints (in particular) lies in the tools that are specifically provided for working in UK OA IR context - managing workflow, deposit, licensing, embargoes, citations, versioning, metadata profiles, harvesting, etc. Building these reliably onto any other digital store is always possible, but likely to be a costly and time-consuming customisation process. Nick Sheppard’s recent post on the UKCORR blog is a useful summary of current practice/thinking on this. http://ukcorr.org/2015/11/27/cris-and-retirement-of-repositories/ Regards Richard [Liverpool John Moores University]<http://www.ljmu.ac.uk/> Richard M.

I was in a meeting recently and the issue of changing IR software came up and someone suggested Alma. My understanding is that Alma is only for library management services, like cataloguing and acquisitions, but to replace an IR?
