<p class="MsoNormal">Dear IFLA Colleagues,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">IFLA has signed a contract with ECS
Partners Limited (<a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://www.eprints.org/">http://www.eprints.org/</a>)
for the building and hosting of its new repository using
EPrints Services. The repository will be publicly launched
during 2013 with contents including all 2013 World Library and
Information Congress (WLIC) papers, existing IFLA standards,
and a selection of advocacy documents. In time,
freely-available full-text resources and links to restricted
content for all IFLA resources will be uploaded and the
contents will be developed and increased, in particular with
new resources for each subsequent WLIC.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The selection of EPrints Services follows a
study carried by a working group of the IFLA Governing Board,
led by Genevieve Clavel-Merrin, under the aegis of the IFLA
Key Initiative 1 (Digital Content):
<a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://www.ifla.org/strategic-plan/key-initiatives/digital-content/repository">http://www.ifla.org/strategic-plan/key-initiatives/digital-content/repository</a>.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">A number of options were investigated and
demonstrated, with EPrints Services being found to offer the
closest match to IFLA’s defined needs. The recommendation was
approved by IFLA’s Governing Board in December 2012.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">With the signing of the contracts, IFLA HQ
staff are working with EPrints Services staff to build the
repository and upload the initial contents. It is hoped that
public access can be announced before the 2013 WLIC in
Singapore with full functionality ready by the end of the
year. In future years, it is hoped that distributed uploading
will be possible and that the professional units will help to
develop the content with the addition of their resources.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">News about the development of the
repository will be posted on the IFLA website:
<a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://www.ifla.org/repository-news">http://www.ifla.org/repository-news</a>,
and a web page will be created where information about the
repository is collected and links are made available for the
Standing Committees of IFLA Professional Units, and all those
interested in following its development.<o:p></o:p></p>

Speaking” blog-post by Genevieve Clavel-Merrin, the IFLA
Governing Board’s Repository Working Group Chair, on what this
means for the authors and session coordinators at this year’s
WLIC:
