Network of Expert Groups
The Scholaris 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. We are grateful to the expert group members for their contributions to Scholaris and the broader repository community.
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)

- S-ETEG: Electronic Theses & Dissertations (est. March 2024, Terms of Reference)
- Founding and past chairs: Leah Vanderjagt (University of Alberta), Nicole White (Simon Fraser University)

- S-DPEG: Digital Preservation (est. August 2024, Terms of Reference)

The three Expert Groups operate under the aegis of CARL’s Shared Repositories Infrastructure Advisory Committee (SRIAC) and engage in close collaboration with the Visiting Program Officer (VPO) – Metadata Strategies and Scholaris, Gabriela Mircea (Digital Projects Librarian, University of Calgary). The VPO liaises with the Scholars Portal team and SRIAC to coordinate and assess priorities based on input from experts.
Questions about the expert groups can be directed to Gabriela Mircea: gabriela.mircea@ucalgary.ca or to the respective chairs.
