Document 3 CARL Institutional Repositories Program Report to SCOM, May 2010 1. Future of the IR Subcommittee The IR Working Group was formed in 2002 by Jean-Pierre Coté (Université de Montréal). The original aim of the Working Group was to assist members in building and populating their institutional repositories. In 2002, there were only 3 IRs in Canada, and now in 2010, almost all CARL member libraries have an IR. The Working Group has accomplished a lot for CARL and the Canadian repository community. It has served as a focal point for monitoring developments with repositories, and has increased the visibility of CARL and repositories through advocacy and promotion activities. In addition, the IRWG has undertaken the following activities since 2002: With SFU, developed and implemented the CARL Harvester With Creative Commons, adapted the CC license for Canada Initiated the development of the Metadata Profile for Institutional Repositories in order to standardize repository metadata Developed the “Greater Reach for your Research” brochure (in conjunction with SPARC) With CISTI, assessed the SWORD protocol (a protocol that will enable simultaneous deposit into IRs and PMC Canada) Organized three meetings of repository managers (including one on May 12, 2010) Undertook a review of content recruitment strategies for Canadian repositories Annually, undertook a survey of institutional repositories in Canada Undertook an assessment of usage statistics methods in repositories Put on a program about repositories at the CARL AGM with all three funding councils participating Recommended that CARL join the Confederation of Open Access Repositories It is being proposed that the IR Subcommittee be disbanded and the current activities be distributed amongst the SCOM and the Data Management Subcommittee. While there is still work to be done, particularly in the areas of populating IRs and developing value added services, it is felt that this work can be effectively pursued and overseen via these two other venues. The motivation for the change is to better integrate the activities related to IRs and ensure that they contribute to the larger CARL Scholarly Communications enterprise. 2. Meeting of IR Managers in May 12, 2010 CARL organized a meeting of librarians working with IRs in conjunction with the ETD-Open Repositories Conference at Carleton University in Ottawa. The theme of the meeting was “Adding value to repositories through collaboration”. The first half of the meeting involved a roundtable at which each participant had the opportunity to talk about their individual projects and discuss challenges with each other. For the second part of the meeting, participants were asked to contribute their ideas about possible collaborative services for Canadian repositories that would add value to repositories in general. The meeting was attended by over 25 people from across the country. A more detailed report of the meeting will be available soon. 3. Confederation of Open Access Repositories On October 21, CARL became a founding member of the Confederation of Open Access Repositories (COAR). COAR is an international association of organizations with a common
Document 3 strategic interest in open access. COAR evolved out of a European project called the Digital Repository Infrastructure Vision for European Research (DRIVER) in consultation with the international repository community. The COAR General Assembly was held in March 2010 and was attended by Kathleen Shearer on behalf of CARL. The membership has increased by 22 organizations since October and now has 46 members and 3 partners from around the world. Members include individual libraries/universities, federations, associations, government funders, and research organizations. New members of interest include CERN, the Coalition of Networked Information (CNI) and OCLC- and the partners are LIBER, Microsoft and BioMed Central. Membership fees for 2010 will be 2500 €. The AGM agreed on the following objectives for the organization: 1. Promote the role of OA repositories and raise their profile / Be the strategic partner of regional, national and international OA initiatives as a representative/authoritative voice 2. Collect, assemble and disseminate best practices for the inception, operation and growth of OA repositories 3. Facilitate the discussion on the interoperability among OA repositories and as part of a wider e-Infrastructure 4. Support regional and national repository initiatives / Promote the repository manager profession 5. Promote the concept, design and implementation of an OA information commons (incl. the question whether COAR should provide concrete services, such as the (meta-) Data Store) Working groups populated by members will undertake the work of COAR based on these objectives. The Advisory Council will be identified at the next AGM. It was agreed that the council be based on regional and stakeholder representation. The Chair proposed that Canada has a representative on the Advisory Council. A more detailed report of the COAR AGM is attached as an Appendix. 4. SPARC Digital Repositories Conference Kathleen Shearer was invited to be a member of the program committee for the conference. She has been working to help develop the program for the Conference, define the scope of the session, and identify appropriate speakers. She has been asked to work specifically on the Open Data session. The other sessions are Repository-based Publishing Services, Global Repository Networks, and Making the Case for Financial Sustainability. The conference will be held on November 8 & 9, 2010 in Baltimore, MD.
