The ARROW Project is a DEST-funded consortial effort to develop and implement institutional repository software, and has co-developed the VITAL software with VTLS Inc. The project team has been building a community of users of this software, through the use of existing free or open source products. This presentation will discuss the specific objectives of building this community, the history of our use of the various available tools, an assessment of their effectiveness and their limitations, and how we plan to move forward.
Presented at: 14th Victorian Association for Library Automation Conference and Exhibition; 2008 Feb 5-7; Melbourne, Australia. 27 leaves.
