Description
The U.S. Repository Network is an initiative of SPARC with support from the Confederation of Open Access Repositories (COAR). In its "Modernizing the Global Repository Network Initiative," COAR identified the need for assistance in breaking down institutional silos and developing a more cohesive approach and greater collaboration around repositories in the U.S. Through a Visiting Program Officer, SPARC engaged an expert group of library/repository professionals as well as the broader U.S. repository community to develop a strategic vision for U.S. repositories. This strategic vision is informing the development of an action plan for the U.S. Repository Network (USRN). The USRN is intended to be inclusive of all U.S. repositories, including medical institutional repositories in libraries. The presenter will briefly describe the vision development process, review the strategic vision itself, and discuss the current action planning phase.
