Hi Everyone, I wanted to let you know that a CARL & SPARC institutional repositories toolkit is available in time for Open Access Week (October 19-23rd October 2009). Copies of the advocacy booklet entitled "Greater Reach For Your Research: Expanding Readership Through Digital Repositories" are available for download at: http://www.carl-abrc.ca/projects/author/author-e.html The toolkit discusses the benefits of repositories, describes how they fit into the broader scholarly communication environment, responds to any major concerns that researchers may have, and distinguishes IRs from other related initiatives in Canada - all in a way that is easy to browse and read. Print copies are also available for purchase if you wish to provide hand outs to patrons. Thanks, Lisa Goddard CLA Open Access Group
