Much has been said in recent times about the alleged dichtomy between Institutional Repositories (IRs) and Current Research Information Systems (CRISs). According to this highly ideological argument, IRs would be the platforms to support the non-commercial initiative jointly carried out by HEIs - and specifically their Libraries - in order to freely disseminate their research outputs, whereas CRISs would support thte whole institutional research information management (RIM) with special emphasis on projects and funding. The text carves out differences and similarities, checks the situation at the HEIs in Europe and lists the models of technical and organizational cooperation. Subsequently CRIS and IR systems and their current status are examined from the IR community point of view. System interoperability is the key issue for an efficient cooperation, which would greatly benefit from a thorough exchange of information and expertise between both communities.
