"The IWMW event provides an opportunity for those involved in the provision of institutional Web services to hear about institutional case studies, national initiatives and emerging technologies and to actively participate in a number of parallel sessions."

Parallel Session: The Invisible Repository

Title:

C2: "The Invisible Repository"

Facilitator:

Stephanie Taylor, UKOLN

Abstract:

Is the end-user interface for searching and accessing the institutional repository a red herring? Should we be looking at making the IR vanish as far as the end user is concerned? Google is increasingly the tool of choice for discovering content, and many repository folk are putting a lot of effort into making the IR search-engine friendly. Should we be running with this and building repositories that push content through other applications but are invisible themselves?
