CAIRSS will facilitate interaction amongst Repository Managers and Repository Technical Officers in the higher education sector in Australia.
CAIRSS hopes to create an interaction model with various communication tools and different levels of communication and to support this community. It is hoped the CAIRSS community grows organically with the repository community.
We would like create an opportunity for the community to share issues and ideas in a relatively informal manner if they wish, allowing for open discussion where repository managers and technical staff at different stages in their roles can interact.
This is where issues and ideas can be communicated casually, enabling community members to ask any question regardless of topic, experience or expertise. This will be useful to get the ball rolling on topics of interest to the community and may result in semi-formal communication where these issues and ideas can be further investigated by CAIRSS.
