Yeah, but E-LIS is really small, looking at it today it tells
us it has 7253 documents. That IRs struggle to compete with that
sort of effort demonstrates that IRs don't populate, even in the
presence of mandates. No amount of Driver summits will change this.
Disclaimer: I am the founder of RePEc and also do volunteer work
for E-LIS.
