About the Webcast

Institutional repositories (IRs) represent a rapidly growing movement 
in scholarly communication to collect, preserve, and provide access to 
the digital resources of scholarly research.  This live, interactive 
Web presentation brings to you information about IRs and their 
increasing importance to scholarly communication. By providing you with 
direct access to hands-on experts, this Webcast gives library staff, 
campus faculty, and administrators an opportunity to explore this topic 
in a shared learning environment.

Rick Johnson, SPARC Enterprise Director, will begin this session with 
an introduction to the Webcast, followed by three panelists who will 
discuss institutional repositories' benefits, uses, and users. In 
addition, the panelists will address concerns and answer viewer 
questions as a means to begin or further discussion on campuses.

Panelists

* Susan Gibbons, Assistant Dean for Public Services & Collection 
Development, University of Rochester, River Campus Libraries
* Daniel Greenstein, Associate Vice Provost for Scholarly Information, 
University Librarian for Systemwide Library Planning and the California 
Digital Library (CDL)
* Kathleen Shearer, Research Associate, Canadian Association of 
Research Libraries (CARL)

Target Audience

* College and University Faculty and Administrators
* Librarians who want to stay current with developments in scholarly 
communication, particularly those who work with faculty and researchers
