The Confederation of Open Access Repositories (COAR) has announced the first session in the members-only COAR Webinar and Discussion Series. Scheduled for July 28, this session aims to provide information about the latest trends and topics in open access and repositories.
The first session will feature Oya Rieger, Associate University Librarian for Scholarly Resources and Preservation Services at Cornell University and Program Director for arXiv (and member of the COAR Executive Board).
As part of its 25th anniversary vision-setting process, the arXiv team conducted a user survey in April 2016 to seek input from the global user community about the current services and future directions. The survey received 36,000 responses, representing an overwhelming number of arXiv's diverse community of users.
Rieger will present the key findings of the survey and discuss the potential implications for the future of the arXiv service and more generally for institutional repositories. The session will be of interest to both discipline-based and institutional repository communities, because it provides insight into potential future functionalities and services for repositories.
