1. Welcome to the Repositories Support Project Professional Briefing & Networking Event
This talk is about embedding your repository in institutional custom and practice.
It draws on a number of examples, that we’d encourage you to follow up.
It won’t have all the answers – but will highlight best/good practice.
Above all we hope it offers practical advice for you to reflect on.
[Author’s note] This talk is designated INTRODUCTORY level in content – in order to be used with an advanced audience significant revision will be required.
