2 TARDIS project E-prints Soton established in 2004 through the JISC funded TARDIS Project and then embedded into the working practice of the University Understanding and working with the different research cultures key in this multi-disciplinary University with 3 Faculties and 24 Schools Strong backing from the University Executive Group Early practice and research from Department of Electronics and Computer Science

3 Southampton Press Release 15 Dec 2004 ‘We see our Institutional Repository as a key tool for the stewardship of the University’s digital research assets,’ said Professor Paul Curran, Deputy Vice Chancellor of the University. ‘It will provide greater access to our research, as well as offering a valuable mechanism for reporting and recording it.’ Prof Paul Curran DVC for Research

4 University of Southampton: RAE driver University mandate for all potential RAE outputs to be deposited Funding to boost IR support for the RAE Aim for IR to be fully embedded as tool for research support Endorsement from DVC for Research and Heads of Schools Prof Philip Nelson DVC for Research and Enterprise

8 Save time and add value One Good Record For Many Purposes open access to research, metadata to export to grant proposals, feed to populate School web pages with record and full text for personal listings, feed to library catalogue for PhD theses
