I gave a talk last week at a Digital Repository Foundation meeting
in Japan.
This is a group of (primarily) librarians involved in running
repositories
for their institutions here in Japan. They asked if there was an
equivalent
organisation in the UK or elsewhere. I don't know of one, but that
doesn't
mean there isn't, since I'm not actively involved in running a
repository,
merely evangelising about IRs and mandates. Does anyone know of
similar
organisations elsewhere that I can point the Japanese DRF people at?
