The dots keep growing in number, and a new colour has arrived on the the scene – red!
There are now over 740 repositories represented on the map, and this number is growing each week. Remember, if your repository is missing, but is listed in ROAR, then use the locator interface to place it on the map. If your repository is not listed in ROAR, then list it!
The new red dots on the map represent BEPress‘ Digital Commons repositories. Since this is the next largest software system below DSpace and EPrints, we thought it deserved a category all to itself.
Hi Stuart,
I made contact with Melissa H at SOROS who said:-
“Yes, I also really enjoy the Repository 66 map as it is a great way to chart the development of repositories.”
Keep up the great work – people really appreciate it.
Cheers,
Graham

I felt it was appropriate to mention Rep 66 in the context of the blog post in question.

Now, looking at the global Rep66 map really puts this into brilliant perspective.
Rhodes e-print service in South Africa is one of only four IR’s in all of Africa (inc. S Africa). Despite this, the usage of the content of this single IR is quite astonishing, let alone encouraging.
From the EPT blog:- “We can earnestly hope that someone – soon – will carry out an authoritative study on the usage of IR material. This would be a magnificent contribution of value to many sectors. Perhaps someone is …?.”
