Dear All,

We've all read about repository developments. Now you can hear directly 
from many of the people responsible for these developments, with the launch 
of a series of podcasts from the Repositories Support Project.

The series opens with four podcasts, featuring 24 contributors and covering 
topics including repository software, preservation and discovery.

- EPrints: repository software of the future or of the past?
   Find out how trainees fared using the latest EPrints software to build 
and populate a repository in one session using a new Web-based page editor.

- Fedora: optimum repository software or overkill?
   Two directors of Fedora Commons explain why the added power and 
flexibility of this repository software is worth the steeper learning curve.

- DRIVER: promoting digital repositories across Europe.
   The SHERPA team leading UK participation in DRIVER show how the project 
is giving visibility and political voice to European repositories.

- Digital preservation: are repositories doing enough for preservation?
   Speakers at a workshop on Tackling the Preservation Challenge tell us 
about practical tools and services to help repositories.

The podcasts are available to download to an MP3 player or stream directly 
from <http://www.rsp.ac.uk/podcasts/>http://www.rsp.ac.uk/podcasts/

To keep up to date with RSP podcasts, you can subscribe to a project feed 
or via iTunes.

Regards,
