The University of Southern Mississippi Libraries are now accepting proposals for the 2023 Southern Miss Institutional Repository Conference (SMIRC), which will take
place on April 27-28, 2023, on campus in Hattiesburg, Mississippi, and online.
We are accepting proposals for short concurrent sessions (approx. 25 minutes), full concurrent sessions (approx. 50 minutes), panels (multiple speakers on a common topic,
approx. 1 hour), workshops (hands-on opportunity for participants to learn about a specific topic pertinent to IRs, approx. 2 hours), lightning talks (approx. 5 minutes), and posters.
We welcome proposals from all institutions that either have an IR, regardless of platform, or that are interested in pursuing an IR for their institution. Topics for
proposals may include (but are not limited to):
- Choosing
an IR platform
- Promoting
an IR on campus
- IR
staffing models
- New
and emerging IR platforms
- Accessibility for IRs
- Getting
faculty participation in IR initiatives
- IRs
and student scholarship
- Supporting underrepresented groups through IRs
- Electronic
theses and dissertations
- Library-led
publishing through the IR
- Open
educational resources and IRs
- Data
management and IRs
- Open
access and IRs
- Supporting DEI initiatives through the IR
- Author
rights
- Metrics
and tools for evaluating IRs
- Migrating
from one IR platform to another
Priority will be shown to in-person presentations, but because the conference will be delivered in a hybrid format, a small number of presentation slots will be available
for virtual presenters.
The deadline for submitting proposals is December 16, 2022. Acceptance emails will be sent no later than February 3, 2023. Registration is free for all attendees
and will open in January. Proposals may be submitted at https://www.lib.usm.edu/smirc/proposals.html.
