  • 1.  Registration is open! Sign up for virtual Medical Institutional Repositories in Libraries (MIRL) 2023

    Colleagues,

    The MIRL (Medical Institutional Repositories in Libraries) symposium planning committee is pleased to announce that registration is now open for the third annual free virtual event, scheduled to take place on WebEx on Thursday, November 16, 2023 from 12:00 pm – 5:00 pm (EST).

    MIRL 2023 will begin with a plenary panel, "IRs in the Medical Landscape: A Conversation with Library Leaders".

    The landscape for medical institutional repositories (IRs) is diverse and evolving. MIRL 2023 kicks off this year's symposium with a plenary panel of health sciences library directors from around the U.S. discussing their various perspectives on how IRs and IR services contribute to and support their institutions' goals. The aim of this plenary session is to set the stage for the symposium and inspire interesting and constructive conversation within the medical IR community.

     

    MIRL is a platform-neutral conference for IR practitioners and those with an interest in IRs at hospitals, academic medical centers, and other health settings to discuss and share case studies and best practices for digital archiving of institutional content. For further information, check out the links below.
