My opinion February 13, 2012INLS 513: Spring Repositories are going to be an important part of the evolving scholarly communication landscape But not as central as we originally imagined IR and related services will be increasingly distributed throughout the staff in academic libraries. Including subject specialists. IR and digital library efforts will be increasingly integrated
