FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
December 15, 2014

The Tenth International Conference on Open Repositories, OR2015, will
be held June 8-11, 2015 in Indianapolis (Indiana, USA). The organizers
are pleased to invite you to contribute to the program.

The conference theme is LOOKING BACK, MOVING FORWARD: OPEN
REPOSITORIES AT THE CROSSROADS. It is an opportunity to reflect on and
to celebrate the transformative changes in repositories, scholarly
communication, and research data over the last decade. More
critically, however, it will also help to ensure that open
repositories continue to play a key role in supporting, shaping, and
sharing those changes and an open agenda for research and scholarship.
