Expert Groups
The CARL Network of Expert groups consist of repository managers and those with relevant expertise in specialized areas who provide guidance, feedback and recommendations to inform the development of Scholaris. Along with Early Adopters, expert groups are a key component of the Scholaris community infrastructure.
To date, the following groups have been formed:
- S-MDEG: Metadata & Discovery (est. March 2024, Terms of Reference)
- Co-chairs: Jordan Pedersen (University of Guelph), Mike Nason (University of New Brunswick)
- Contact: jpederse@uoguelph.ca, mnason@unb.ca
- S-ETEG: Electronic Theses & Dissertations (est. March 2024, Terms of Reference)
- Co-chairs: Leah Vanderjagt (University of Alberta), Nicole White (Simon Fraser University)
- Contact: leahv@ualberta.ca, ngjertse@sfu.ca
- S-DPEG: Digital Preservation (est. August 2024, Terms of Reference)
- Chair: Julie Shi (Scholars Portal)
- Contact: juli.shi@utoronto.ca
Questions about the expert groups can be directed to Gabriela Mircea: gabriela.mircea@ucalgary.ca or to the respective chairs.
Updates on Expert Group Recommendations
January 2025
Thank you to everyone from the repository community who provided feedback on the draft recommendations. The S-MDEG and S-ETEG members are now reviewing and incorporating this valuable feedback. Updated versions of the recommendations will be shared later in the year.
December 2024
We are pleased to share some of the draft recommendations for the Scholaris service. These recommendations are the result of extensive analysis by our Metadata and Discovery Expert Group and Electronic Theses and Dissertations Expert Group and are intended to guide the successful implementation and adoption of Scholaris.
While these recommendations focus on the Scholaris service, they also address the needs of both Scholaris users and the broader repository community.
