6th Annual Medical Institutional Repositories in Libraries Symposium 2026 (MIRL 26)
Date TBD
Free virtual event

The Medical Institutional Repositories in Libraries (MIRL) Symposium focuses on Institutional Repository (IR) management, curation, and promotion in a health sciences environment. MIRL is a platform-neutral conference. Our goal is to gather together IR practitioners and those with an interest in IRs at hospitals, academic medical centers, and other health settings for discussions and sharing of case studies and best practices for digital archiving of institutional content.

Questions about the event can be directed to Steven Moore, Librarian at Sladen Library, Henry Ford Health.
