Tell us what helped or hindered your work in these or other areas: - Improving accessibility of repository content or platforms - IR metadata interoperability, ingest, maintenance, or authority management; - Stewardship of digital files in various formats; - Repository migration, updates, and integrations with other library or scholarly communications systems; - Outreach efforts and collaborations with IR stakeholders; - IRs as library publishing platforms; - Equity and inclusion for IR contributors, users, and content; - IR policies; - Tools used within IR workflows (for cataloging, transcription, ingest, metadata reconciliation, etc.) Proposals that are platform agnostic are particularly encouraged.
