OC Transpo Bus Network Changes
OC Transpo’s new bus network comes into effect on Sunday, April 27. These changes are significant and will impact every neighbourhood and most customers throughout the city. It is a good idea to use the Travel Planner to check your route schedule and see how your commute may change once the New Ways to Bus network comes into effect.

Parking Permit Fee Structure Update
The cost of parking permits for students, faculty and staff will be increasing as of May 1. To see the new fee structure, please visit the Parking Services website. This price adjustment better aligns parking permit fees with the cost of a monthly OC Transpo transit pass. Given the high demand for campus parking, the university encourages commuters to consider using public transit whenever possible.

MacOdrum Library: Carleton Joins Scholaris

Carleton University Institutional Repository has migrated to Scholaris. This transition marks a significant step in enhancing the accessibility and discoverability of Carleton research. All content hosted on our current repository platform, including our collection of Carleton dissertations and scholarly publications, is now available.

What is Scholaris?
Scholaris is a national shared repository service that provides hosted infrastructure and support for Canadian institutional repositories. By joining Scholaris, Carleton benefits from a robust, open source and community-driven platform while library staff retain oversight of the Carleton University Institutional Repository and its collections.

What’s New?
The Scholaris platform has more options for arranging content into communities and collections, providing new ways to gather and showcase content. Searching and browsing options will support discovery across all content as well as focused browsing within collections. The base URL for the repository has changed from repository.library.carleton.ca to carleton.scholaris.ca.

What’s Staying the Same?
All Carleton University Institutional Repository collections, content, and services remain the same. Links to the former repository has been redirected to collections and content on the new site. DOIs that link to publications hosted in the repository have also been updated to point to the content on the new platform. No action is needed by content owners.

For more information about Scholaris and options for publishing your research in open access, please contact schol-coms@cunet.carleton.ca.
