At the CENDI meeting on February 4, 2003 at the National Library of Congress, Mr. Crowe gave a brief history of SPARC and its goals. He discussed the current scholarly journal publishing model and suggested that the four components of the model could be disaggregated, allowing different organizations to provide services in these areas. Institutional repositories would play a major role in this new publishing model however standards must be developed to make the disaggregated system work together. Mr. Crowe also discussed impediments to the development of institutional repositories including the trend against formal publication if preprints are posted; concern about intellectual property rights; quality issues, and the need to have a critical mass of information in a repository.
