The End of Institutional Repositories?

[Kathleen Cowan <kcowan@bepress.com>]

**Apologies for cross posting**

Are Institutional Repositories, in their current form, too 
narrowly focused?

In his new paper, The End of Institutional Repositories & the 
Beginning of Social Academic Research Service: An Enhanced Role 
For 
Libraries<http://www.llrx.com/node/2177/print>(http://www.llrx.com/node/2177/print), 
Stuart Basefsky argues that indeed they are.

Basefky, an information specialist and lecturer at Cornell 
University's School of Industrial and Labor Relations, recently 
presented this paper in the keynote address at the Czech & Slovak 
Library Information Network (CASLIN) 2009 conference. It is a 
must read for anyone interested in the topic.


Enjoy,
