This is an exciting opportunity to contribute to our new programme of innovation within the digital library, #repository, and #OpenResearch space. Detail below. Happy to take informal enquiries btw.
"Making #archiving obligatory would also encourage universities that don’t yet operate their own repositories to work towards instituting them. “#Universities are one of the most enduring elements of our society,” says Hussein Suleman, a #digitallibraries scholar at the University of Cape Town in S.Africa. “If we adopted this widely, this would be a safeguarding mechanism for the knowledge of our current generation so the future generations can access it.”"

For reasons that may become clearer at a later time, I was minded to revisit a paper from #OpenRepo2024 by @paulwalk -- 'Analysis of OpenDOAR Data'. Paul interrogates #OpenDOAR data and uncovers worrying findings about, a) currency of OpenDOAR data, but perhaps more worrying, b) that almost half of all #repositories do not have a functioning OAI-PMH endpoint.
