cIRcle, UBC’s information repository, is featured in the February 7, 2008 issue of UBC Reports.
Scholarly publishing is starting to come full cIRcle at UBC thanks to the development of an online storehouse known as an institutional repository (IR).
Dubbed cIRcle (circle.ubc.ca), the site is designed to help store the vast array of UBC’s research output. It’s currently in pilot mode but an official launch is planned for spring 2008.
