CAUL Australian Institutional Repository Support Service.
The primary function of CAIRSS is to offer support for Repository Managers in the higher education sector in Australia.
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.
CAUL appointed the University of Southern Queensland, through the Australian Digital Futures Institute (ADFI) within the Division of Academic Information Services (DAIS) to undertake its new institutional repository support service.
The service commenced officially on March 16, 2009.
