Announcing:
Workshop on Institutional Repositories
18 October 2002 in Washington, DC
Presented by ARL, SPARC & CNI

"Institutional Repositories: A Workshop on Creating an Infrastructure 
for Faculty-Library Partnerships" will be offered in Washington, DC 
on Friday, October 18.  Co-sponsored by ARL, SPARC, and CNI, this 
event will help academic and research library and IT directors and 
their senior staffs begin planning for the implementation of 
repositories designed to house faculty works, such as articles, 
datasets, images, video, and courseware.

Speakers from libraries that are planning and implementing 
institutional repositories will address key issues, including:

* what institutional repositories are and why institutions need them;
* what is involved in establishing and operating one;
* what are the key policy issues that need to be resolved;
* how to engage faculty participation;
* strategic and resource implications for the library.

The workshop will focus on the cultural and management dimensions of 
establishing an institutional repository, rather than on technical 
matters.

Register for the workshop online at <http://db.arl.org/ir2002/>.
The registration fee is $175 per participant.
