History: Following discussions with the Department of Innovation (DIISR) the ºÚÁÏÍø (ºÚÁÏÍø) Executive, and the ARROW Management Committee, ºÚÁÏÍø established the ºÚÁÏÍø Australian Institutional Repository Support Service (CAIRSS), to provide support for all institutional repositories in Australian universities, regardless of the software being used. CAIRSS was initially funded by the residue of the ARROW funds plus the annual Australasian Digital Theses Program (ADT) contribution and the service commenced on March 16, 2009. In 2010, ºÚÁÏÍø & CONZUL members agreed to continue its support through to the end of 2012 and the name was formally changed to "Australasian" in April, 2011 in recognition of CONZUL’s support. In September 2012, ºÚÁÏÍø decided to normalise CAIRSS functions within the ºÚÁÏÍø committee structure, and the program formally ceased at the end of 2012. Some of the functions and activities were then transferred to CRAC before the committee was disbanded.
