Friday 29 May 2009, Royal Institute of British Architects, London

The Repositories Support Project (RSP) and the Research Information
Network (RIN) are holding this free event to look at how researchers are
responding to mandates to include the results of their research work in
repositories. It will cover the issues around both research funders' and
institutional mandates at institutional, subject-based and national
levels and ask how these mandates are working in practice.

Key speakers include:

* Paul Ayris, Director, Library Services, University College London
* Paul Davey, Engagement Manager, UKPubMed Central
* Bill Hubbard, Manager, SHERPA, University of Nottingham
* Paul Hubbard, Head of Research Policy, HEFCE
* Charles Oppenheim, Head of Department and Professor of Information
Science at Loughborough University

The meeting will be an opportunity to investigate the way that mandates
are working, what policies and processes can improve this, how mandates
can become embedded within the research cycle, and reflect on their
current and future impact.

The event is aimed at institutional managers, senior librarians,
research funders, repository managers, publishers, learned societies and
academic researchers.
Places are free but limited, so please book early, register at:
