Surveying The Medical Ir Landscape For Presentation Or Publication: Challenges And Opportunities, Ramune K. Kubilius

Medical Institutional Repositories in Libraries (MIRL)

The medical institutional repository landscape is ever evolving and presents challenges for anyone who wishes to research it for presentation or publication.

Those who are directly involved may research and report on use cases and institution or platform-specific IR scenarios. Yet, it can be argued that in many instances, there is an important reason for introductory material on the "world of medical institutional repositories", in providing background and context. No matter one's job title or responsibilities, there …
