Description
The U.S. Repository Network (USRN) is a growing, community-driven initiative to strengthen repositories as shared research infrastructure across the United States. This past year, the network piloted a discovery effort that aggregated and surfaced article-level content from participating repositories, making locally hosted scholarship more findable and usable at scale. In parallel, the USRN convened community conversations with repository managers, librarians, and other stakeholders to codesign priorities, identify pain points, and ensure that technical work on interoperability and discovery was grounded in real institutional needs and practices.
