The U.S. Repository Network (USRN) is envisioned as an inclusive community committed to advancing repositories in the U.S. through advocacy, good practices, and community building. In this context, "U.S. repositories" refers to all open research repositories based in the U.S. regardless of content, host, or platform. That is, repositories containing articles, data, gray literature, and emerging forms of scholarship; repositories hosted by higher education institutions, research centers, or other nonprofit organizations; and repositories using open source or vended platforms, are considered to be part of this network. All such repositories are welcome to participate in the USRN as we seek to build value for all repositories in the U.S.

Good morning everyone! The Scholarly Publishing and Academic Resources Coalition (SPARC) is hosting an informational update meeting on April 6 from 4-5 pm EST regarding the US Repository Network. If you're considering the role of your library in making federally funded research freely available (i.e., per the August 2022, OSTP Memo) or you're interested in options for institutions who don't have a repository, this meeting may be of interest. Registration information is provided below. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ SPARC will host a U.S. Repository Network Action Plan Update on April 6, 2023, 4-5pm ET.
