Dear colleagues,


You are being invited to participate in a research study examining the creation and maintenance of institutional repositories (IR) in Canada. The purpose of this research is to identify how IR platforms, both proprietary and open source, are implemented and maintained at varying sizes of institutions. If you work with an institutional repository at a Canadian post-secondary institution, please consider participating in this survey; it will take approximately 10-15 minutes to complete. All participants' responses will remain anonymous.


You will find a link to the survey here: Survey of Canadian Institutional Repositories<http://surveys.msvu.ca/index.php?r=survey/index&sid=184777&lang=en>. The survey is open until May 16, 2018.


This study has been approved by the Mount Saint Vincent University REB. If you have any questions about the survey please contact the principal investigator, Lindsey MacCallum, at [log in to unmask] or 902-457-6402.
