> About the Webinar
>
> While institutional repository (IR) systems are meant to focus on the
> storage of digital objects, most repositories contain not only 
> objects, but
> also metadata about those items. One of the main functions of library
> systems is to help facilitate the discovery of items and content using
> metadata. Where is the line between IR systems and the discovery and
> management tools the libraries use to manage their collections? What are
> some strategies that libraries can employ to integrate these systems? Is
> anyone having success?  
>
> As libraries increasingly become the home to special digital 
> collections and
> scanned materials,
> finding simple ways to exchange information and ensure discoverability 
> of IR
> content will be critical to efficient management of both systems. This
> webinar will provide attendees with an overview of recent research in this
> topic as well as real-world examples from organizations who are working
> toward interoperability.

> -- Kathleen Menzies, OCRIS: Online Catalogue and Repository 
> Interoperability
> Study - Funded by the JISC Scholarly Communications Group, OCRIS examined
> the interoperability of LMSs, IRs and other administrative systems in
> operation within UK universities. The project team produced extensive
> recommendations for improving the visibility and usefulness of 
> intellectual
> assets and associated data by allowing central, and rapidly developing,
> information systems to interoperate. The findings of the OCRIS project 
> will
> be presented to members of the NISO followed by a discussion of their
> implications and how they relate to the wider context.
