ABOUT THIS COMMUNITY
A group of librarians from New England collaborated to organize the first-ever Northeast Institutional Repository Day (NIRD) on June 18, 2019. The fifth annual NIRD was held virtually on November 30-December 1, 2023. NIRD brings together all in the Northeast (and beyond) who manage or are interested in institutional repositories, digital collections, and digital preservation. We are platform agnostic. This site is a repository of conference materials and is hosted by the Lamar Soutter Library at UMass Chan Medical School.
NEW! In keeping with the collaborative and platform-agnostic spirit of the NIRD community, NIRD decided in August 2024 to host NIRD24 and all forthcoming conference content on Zenodo. Moving to Zenodo enables us to share the management of our repository without worrying about institutional affiliations or differences between our own IR platforms. Content from the 2019-2023 NIRD conferences will continue to be hosted and available from eScholarship@UMassChan.
