Date: May 1st, 2024,
Time: 11:00 am – 12:30 pm (Eastern)
Description:
The goal of the panel is to help bridge the gap between the broader world of open infrastructure, standards, and movements (e.g., OpenAIRE, CORE, COAR, and more), and the day-to-day work of a repository manager. Gabriela Mircea (CARL Visiting Program Officer–Metadata Strategies & Scholaris) will help frame the panel discussion and start with a CARL-centric overview for the Canadian repository context. Panelists will help provide a practical approach to questions such as: if one day I realize I have a spare hour to work towards bringing my repository better in line with these standards and movements, what is a first step I can take? What about if I have a whole week? Or perhaps the opportunity to pursue a bigger project? This panel aims to start to lay out a pathway from wherever your repository is today to participation in broader open infrastructure and the future of scholarly communication.
Panelists:
Kathleen Shearer – Executive Director, Confederation of Open Access Repositories
Paul Walk – Owner and Director of Antleaf
Gabriela Mircea – Visiting Program Officer – OpenAIRE at CARL
Kyle Demes – Vice President, Research Intelligence at OurResearch (OpenAlex)
