The Scholarly Publishing and Academic Resources Coalition (SPARC) has announced that marketing, partnerships, small-scale subject repositories, customer service, multidimensional image data, curation micro-services, and liberating folklore journals are some of the topics that will be tackled in the SPARC 2010 Digital Repositories Meeting Innovation Fair. SPARC, in partnership with SPARC Europe and SPARC Japan/National Institute of Informatics, is hosting the next installment of this meeting on November 8-9, 2010, at the Renaissance Harborplace Hotel in Baltimore, Maryland.
The Innovation Fair is a highlight to the conference where new technologies and strategies are showcased in engaging, informative, rapid-fire presentations by librarians, technologists, and publishers. The Fair invites short presentations of innovative or creative approaches to use of repository content, discovery of research outputs, value-added services, and repository promotion. This year, twenty-one presenters were identified through a rigorous and competitive selection process led by the meeting program committee.
The SPARC digital repositories meetings have played an integral part in advancing the potential of repositories to expand the dissemination of scholarship and transform scholarly communication. First held in 2004, the meetings are regularly hosted in the UK or Europe, Japan, and North America. These meetings draw hundreds of participants from around the globe, and set the stage for key developments over the past six years.
