Welcome to CAIRSS

CAUL Australasian Institutional Repository Support Service.

The primary function of CAIRSS is to offer support for Repository Managers in the higher education sector in Australia and New Zealand.

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 Australasian Institutional Repository Support Service (CAIRSS), to provide support for institutional repositories in Australian and New Zealand universities, regardless of the software being used.

CAUL appointed the University of Southern Queensland to undertake its new institutional repository support service.

The service commenced officially on March 16, 2009.
