Save the date for the Medical Institutional Repositories in Libraries (MIRL) Symposium<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://hsrc.himmelfarb.gwu.edu/mirl/2023/__;!!DZ3fjg!-4GqpBEBvUfc58TNyF49F7m4KI4wjO_gOLb2tKE1hJsksgV2YUV2clzJCsabev9CIqOPAH2Fxuy5xjEQiVBuAlTLwxw$ >, a free virtual event with a focus on Institutional Repository (IR) management, curation, and promotion in a health sciences environment. The third annual symposium will take place virtually on Thursday, November 16.

MIRL Symposium is a platform-neutral conference. Our goal is to gather together IR practitioners and those with an interest in IRs at hospitals, academic medical centers, and other health settings for discussions and sharing of case studies and best practices for digital archiving of institutional content.

The conference will be a mix of presentation types. Potential topics will vary: challenges and successes in innovation, staffing, and workflows; creative use cases and collections; migration of repositories; use of technologies (from APIs to AI); policies to ensure diversity and privacy; strategies for the continued promotion of open access health sciences content.

Please share with anyone who may be interested. A call for papers and presenters will be coming later this summer. There is no cost for participating, but registration will be required. Registration information and a program agenda will be announced later.

Questions can be directed to Steven Moore<mailto:smoore31 at hfhs.org>, Librarian at Sladen Library, Henry Ford Health.
