5. Repositories are spreading because... Supplementary to traditional publication Do not affect current research publication processes Give easy access Give rapid access Give long-term access Increase readership and use of material They offer advantages to institutions They offer advantages to research funders They offer new ways for information to be linked and used

6. Institutional repositories Digital collections that preserve and provide access the the intellectual output of an institution. Encourage wider use of information assets May contain a variety of digital objects –e-prints, –e-theses, –e-learning objects, –datasets –multimedia

7. Not just storage Provides core of an information management system Opportunities for integration of research and teaching Record of institutional output Access to institutional authors work Search services give access to other repositories A service to authors, managers and funders

8. Repository basis Institutional repositories combined with location- specific or subject-based search services Practical reasons –use institutional infrastructure –integration into work-flows and systems –support is close to academic users and contributors OAI-PMH allows a single gateway to search and access many repositories –subject-based portals or views –subject-based classification and search

9. Institutional Repository use Two sets of users - two modes of use Meta-users –Browse and analyse statistics and aggregates –Browse and analyse countries, institutions and funding bodies Researchers –Target individual eprints –They also create the metadata... –Repositories are not a replacement for journals

10. What will happen? Whatever usage-strategies researchers will evolve - If definitive versions are of value to their work (and they are) –then they will be used If journals are of value to their work (and they are) –then they will be used If publishers are of value to their work (and they are) –then they will be used If learned societies are of value to their work (and they are) –then they will be used If repositories of work are of value to their work (and they are) –then they will be used

11. Barriers to adoption Copyright restrictions –No - approx. 93% (of Nottinghams) journals allow their authors to archive Cultural barriers to adoption –Awareness? Working habits? Authors are willing to use repositories –81% would deposit willingly if required to do so Deposition policies are key

12. Policy development House of Commons Science and Technology Committee NIH - watered down to a request with a 12 month delay... delay does not equal embargo, but... Wellcome Trust - a requirement, but a 6 month delay RCUK Position Statement - draft requires deposition (but does not specify any time for deposition) UUK Statement in support of Open Access and Institutional Repositories RAE may contribute to the debate...

13. National development Research-led universities adopting research repositories –extension with eTheses, data-sets, multimedia, etc Policies for development –from research funders; institutions; departments –level playing field needed for policies to operate effectively National perspective for services –of repositories, repository holdings –for search and analysis of contents –for UK research on the global stage

14. JISC developments £40m (2006 – 2008) to support & enhance the UKs digital infrastructure, access to online content and the development of digital repositories. –continued development of JANET & links –digitisation of major scholarly collections –enhancement of e-learning programmes –development of e-infrastructure, collaborative environments, virtual research environments –development of shared infrastructure to support the use of institutional repositories.

23. Futures Policies for deposition will help establish repositories and their use Advocacy, search and value-added services will embed repositories into the research process The organisation of research will embed repositories into institutional services and administration Repositories, and their use, will grow
