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.
