Open Access Repositories in New Zealand (OARiNZ)
http://www.oarinz.ac.nz/

The CPIT-led Open Access Repositories in New Zealand (OARiNZ) project, funded under the Government’s eLearning Collaborative Development Fund (eCDF) will design and build the infrastructure necessary to connect all of New Zealand’s digital research repositories that meet standards for interoperability and access. The project targets the three key recommendations from the National Library of New Zealand’s Institutional Repositories for the Research Sector report (Rankin, 2005). Drawing on a team of people with a wide range of perspectives and expertise, the project also aims to develop capability and confidence by providing Tertiary Education Institutes with a range of repository implementation options from which to select. Principles underpinning the project include openness of systems/standards, flexibility, sustainability and inclusiveness. This has been added to Research Resources Subject Tracer™ Information Blog.
