Hello! Please excuse any cross-posting.

The Medical Institutional Repositories in Libraries (MIRL) Planning Committee is accepting proposals for the fifth MIRL Symposium (https://scholarlycommons.henryford.com/mirl/), a free event which will take place virtually on Thursday, November 20. MIRL is a platform-neutral conference for IR practitioners and those with an interest in IRs at hospitals, academic medical centers, and other health settings to discuss and share case studies and best practices for digital archiving of institutional content.

MIRL 2025 will present a keynote panel featuring leaders from the medical IR community.

We are accepting proposals for:

  *   Presentations (approximately 20 minutes including Q&A)
  *   Lightning talks (approximately 10 minutes including Q&A)

The MIRL planning committee welcomes proposals on a variety of topics including, but not limited to:

  *   Policies and practices that ensure confidentiality (eg. PHI /personal health identifiers in IRs), accessibility, diversity, equity, and inclusion
  *   Unusual medical/health sciences institutional repository (IR) content, collections, use cases, collaborations, or challenges
  *   Migrating repository platforms: stories, processes, and lessons learned
  *   IRs in a time of budget cuts: ROI and justifying the cost
  *   Finding your champions, marketing your IR
  *   Reporting out: telling your IR story with statistics and metrics
  *   IR harvesting and support tools, workflow
  *   Strategies for management of faculty/researcher publications, conference posters, student collections, digital exhibits, digital archives, preprints, datasets
  *   Promoting open access (OA) initiatives
  *   Use of technologies (from APIs to AI)
