CAUL Research Repositories Community Event 2019

Monday, 28 October 2019 to Tuesday, 29 October 2019

Sydney

Topics:
Repositories, Research, Scholarly Communications

The theme for 2019 is - ‘where to from here?’

It has been ten years since the first CAIRSS community meeting was held in 2009, in 2019 we encourage presenters to consider the question of ‘where to from here?’ when preparing presentation proposals. 

The CAUL Australian Institutional Repository Support Service (CAIRSS) was originally established to provide support for institutional repositories and their managers in Australian and New Zealand Universities, funded by members with initial support from the Australian government between 2009 and 2012.

The Community Days have taken place annually since 2009, with presenters covering a wide range of themes from stakeholder perspectives to advocacy, management of research outputs, data, and other technical aspects of repositories. The meeting continues to be an opportunity for the research repository community and those interested in research repositories to come together, discuss what is going on in their institutions, share best-practice and to hear about the latest developments in research repositories.
