SCHOLARIS

Shared service and support for the Canadian scholarly community.

Institutional repositories, and repository managers, play a vital role in the
academic research environment by advancing scholarship and fostering open access
to research. As a national shared repository service, Scholaris leverages local
expertise to facilitate knowledge sharing, foster collaboration, and increase
the discoverability and impact of Canadian research excellence.

Scholaris provides scalable infrastructure, technical expertise and community
support for institutional repositories. The service uses open-source repository
software (DSpace) and is hosted and managed by Scholars Portal. Participating
institutions enjoy the benefits of both local and national service models: an
institutionally branded repository instance with centrally managed hosting and
upgrades, shared resources, and access to a vibrant national repository network.




BENEFITS




HOSTED

Scholars Portal installs, hosts and maintains the key technical components so
you can focus on your core work.


STORED

Data is hosted and securely stored at Canadian university-owned and operated
data centres.


INNOVATIVE

Regular upgrades and modern architecture mean your repository benefits from the
latest technological developments.


COMMUNITY-DRIVEN

Scholaris is shaped and strengthened by shared expertise and engagement with our
vibrant repository community.


DEVELOPING PARTNERS

Scholaris is being developed by the Canadian Association of Research Libraries
(CARL), the Ontario Council of University Libraries (OCUL) and the University of
Toronto Libraries (UTL), in collaboration with the Shared Repository
Infrastructure Advisory Committee (SRIAC), regional consortia, academic
libraries, repository practitioners and communities of experts. The shared
technical infrastructure is hosted and managed by Scholars Portal.




PARTICIPATING INSTITUTIONS (EARLY ADOPTERS)




PRICING



We are currently rolling out an Early Adopter Program, which includes negotiated
consortial pricing for participants.

Please contact us if you are interested in the program and would like to discuss
anticipated costs for set up and on-going service fees.

More detailed pricing information will be shared as the service model evolves
through our work with Early Adopters and expert groups.


FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

How does Scholaris work?

Scholaris is an opt-in repository service that provides technical and community
infrastructure. It is not a unified institutional repository as each
participating institution receives their own DSpace instance. These parallel
instances are hosted and managed by the Scholaris technical team through a
centralized service delivery model.

Scholaris institutions receive a local, institutionally-branded repository
instance that benefits from regular upgrades, maintenance, reporting, and shared
repository expertise, resources, and documentation.

Is it possible to search across repositories through Scholaris?

Not yet. We intend to offer a discovery layer in the future.

Who can join Scholaris?

Scholaris is currently working with institutions to develop the service through
an Early Adopter program. Participation in the Early Adopter program is open to
research libraries at Canadian universities and members of the Canadian
Association of Research Libraries (CARL). Once the service is fully operational,
we anticipate expanding participation to eligible non-member research
organizations across Canada.

Which version of DSpace will Early Adopters be migrated to?

Current Early Adopters will be migrated to DSpace 7.6. Upgrades to the software
will be performed by Scholars Portal, with timelines to be determined and
communicated by the Scholaris service team, with guidance from the Shared
Repository Infrastructure Advisory Committee (SRIAC) and relevant repository
groups.

What will our repository look like after we join Scholaris? Do we have to change
our repository’s name?

Because each institution receives its own DSpace instance, the theming is up to
you! You can design or keep your current branding, including the name of your
current repository. Note that a new URL will be
created:[institutionidentifier].scholaris.ca. and redirects put in place.

Can we join Scholaris if we don’t currently have an institutional repository?

Yes! Scholaris has been designed to support multiple repository use cases. The
Scholaris team can set up a new repository if your institution currently doesn’t
have one.

Can we join Scholaris if our repository is currently on a different platform
(i.e., not DSpace)?

Yes! Scholaris has been designed to support multiple repository use cases. Our
team can migrate your repository from another platform to DSpace.

Please note that Scholaris pricing is dependent upon the type of use case and
the complexity of the migration. If you’d like to learn more about what joining
Scholaris could look like for your institution, please contact us.

Our institution is interested in being an Early Adopter. What are the next
steps?

Thank you for your interest in joining Scholaris! We recommend completing the
submission form so we can learn more about your repository needs. This will also
help us determine future cohort sizes and timelines. Alternatively, you can
always contact us to learn more about the program.
