Research Support Community of Practice
Research Support Community of Practice
The Research Support Community of Practice closed in August 2023, and was replaced by the Australian Scholarly Communications Community of Practice, a joint initiative of Open Access Australasia, Creative Commons Australia, and CAUL.
The Research Support Community of Practice communicated via the original CAIRSS email list: http://groups.google.com.au/group/cairss. This list was open to practitioners outside universities. The primary function of CAIRSS (2009-2012) was to support institutional repository managers in the higher education sector in Australia & New Zealand. The commmunity of practice organised annual community events relating to research support.

History: Following discussions with the Department of Innovation (DIISR) the Council of Australian University Librarians (CAUL) Executive, and the ARROW Management Committee, CAUL established the CAUL Australian Institutional Repository Support Service (CAIRSS), to provide support for all institutional repositories in Australian universities, regardless of the software being used. CAIRSS was initially funded by the residue of the ARROW funds plus the annual Australasian Digital Theses Program (ADT) contribution and the service commenced on March 16, 2009. In 2010, CAUL & CONZUL members agreed to continue its support through to the end of 2012 and the name was formally changed to "Australasian" in April, 2011 in recognition of CONZUL’s support. In September 2012, CAUL decided to normalise CAIRSS functions within the CAUL committee structure, and the program formally ceased at the end of 2012. Some of the functions and activities were then transferred to CRAC before the committee was disbanded.
