74

What have we got ?

• Lots of repositories

• Better services for finding, depositing, doing

• We’re using repositories for much more than research papers

• Building links with e-research, institutional admin, teaching and learning

• More tools around metadata and preservation

2009-05-06 Kevin Ashley, JISC R&P wrap-up programme meeting, Aston

75

Why were we doing it

• More research; better research; more impact

• Better teaching & learning ; reusable content

• Cheaper, faster, better admin processes

• Linking up to worldwide services and networks

• Innovation

76

Where next ?

• Moving away from boutique model

• Getting joined-up international activity

• Repos as a service, not a place

• Expose content, join content, reuse, exploit, share

• Link with publishing, research, teaching
