From Campus to Community Researchers: Evolving the Role of Institutional Repositories

Institutional repositories have traditionally functioned as online platforms for scholarly work by university-affiliated researchers. However, their potential to preserve and share a wider range of works created alongside community-based research partners remains underutilized. This session invites participants to reimagine institutional repositories as dynamic, inclusive platforms that foster collaboration between academic institutions and the communities they engage with. Attendees will learn about findings from a recently published study exploring how community-based researchers perceive repositories and how these perceptions align with current services and opportunities for growth. Presenter: Robyn Hall, Scholarly Communications Librarian, MacEwan University Robyn Hall is Scholarly Communications Librarian at MacEwan University. She has presented extensively on ways that repositories can facilitate access to diverse research materials. About the Canadian Repositories Community of Practice The Canadian Repositories Community of Practice unites professionals managing open repositories in Canadian libraries, academic institutions, and scholarly organizations.
