Using repositories
Institutional repositories
The OAI-PMH allows a single gateway to search and access many repositories• subject-based portals or views• subject-based classification and search• institutional storage and support
Practical reasons• use institutional infrastructure• integration into work-flows and systems • support is close to academic users and contributors
Repositories use global structures
Data Providers and Service Providers• Global network acting as one virtual repository • Innovative services to support discovery and use
Repositories can vary . . .• institutional, disciplinary, centralised, networks, etc• contain post-prints, eTheses, data, rich output, etc
Encouraging new processes to support research
These structures now allow new developments
