All recorded sessions are available for watching
The Ninth International Conference on Open Repositories, OR2014, will be held 9-13 June 2014 in Helsinki, Finland. The organizers are pleased to invite you to contribute to the program. This year’s conference theme is:

We welcome proposals on these themes, but also on the theoretical, practical, organizational or administrative topics related to digital repositories.
