Description
In the UK, institutional repositories in higher education have been heavily funded, supported and promoted for several years by government. Most HE institutions now have a live repository and the few that don't are in the process of implementing one. There is now a core body of experienced staff spanning administration, technical development and support, and general repository management. In such a new area, developments continue at a rapid pace and the sphere of interest spreads out from these core staff to researchers, policy makers, budget holders, funding bodies, publishers and anyone interested in digital/electronic publications and knowledge management. Key topics include: * What's inside the repository? * The repository, research output and bibliometrics * The repository as a digital archive * Relationships: Co-operation, Outreach & External Relations * Repositories around the World This forward looking edited collection is aimed at everyone and anyone involved in this wider repositories community or who has an interest in institutional repositories.
The book aims to inspire the decisions of the future on all levels by identifying leading trends and showing by example through cutting edge project work through to practical experiments in the workplace, in the UK and abroad.
