Open Repositories 2008

Open Repositories 2008

Repositories play a pivotal role in the evolving scholarly information environment of open access research outputs and scholarly collections. With its theme of "Practice and Innovation", OR08 will create an opportunity for practitioners and researchers to share experiences and to explore the challenges of the new scholarly communication.
The Steering Committee is pleased to invite your participation in the Third International Conference on Open Repositories, April 1st – 4th, 2008 in Southampton, UK. The conference will be hosted by the School of Electronics and Computer Science at the University of Southampton, which has a 20 year history of research into hypertext, multimedia, digital libraries and open access, spawning products like the Microcosm open hypertext system and the EPrints repository platform.
