"Repository Everywhere": The impact of confinement on DIGITAL.CSIC

Abstract

Years ago the expression "Library Everywhere" became fashionable to refer to the strategy by which libraries make their collections and services available to their users through various formats, channels and spaces. The confinement of recent months has shown that the same concept could be transferred to the world of repositories. Thus, "Repository Everywhere" could signify, on the one hand, the more than significant role that repositories are playing in accelerating the communication of preliminary results on Covid-19 research and, on the other hand, the capacity that the global repository community has had to continue to feed on new research results and to continue to offer services to support open access to research.
