LINKING UK REPOSITORIES: Technical and organisational models to support user-oriented services across institutional and other digital repositories. SCOPING STUDY REPORT

Abstract

The JISC commissioned the project partners to undertake a scoping study whose aim is to identify sustainable technical and organisational models to support user-oriented services across digital repositories. Open access repositories of interest to UK further and higher education communities were cited as having particular relevance. The study is intended to inform strategies to support access and use of repositories, with a view to the establishment of a national repository services infrastructure or framework.
