[BOAI] RSP workshop on the OR12 conference

[Iryna Kuchma]

[Forwarding from the UK Repositories Support Project.  --Peter Suber.]


*"Building a successful national network: how we did it in the UK and where
we're going."*


This workshop will showcase research repositories in UK higher education.
It would demonstrate how widespread the network is, how coordinated the UK
is as a community, what the Repositories Support Project has done to
encourage this, the role of United Kingdom Council of Research Repositories
and what JISC has done in terms of a national approach to support and
development.


Delegates from outside the UK will have the opportunity to get an in depth
understanding of the repository network in the UK and also to talk to
repository staff about their experiences.

*Worksop outline*


* Introduction by JISC to the programmes which have supported repository
development over the last seven years and to future plans for repository
development and support in the UK – including the UKRepositoryNet+ service


* Examples of JISC funded Support projects: SHERPA and RSP


* Support for institutions: the University of Glasgow case study


* The role of UKCoRR (United Kingdom Council of Research Repositories)


* There will then be a number of concurrent sessions where UK staff will
use their institutions as a case study to engender discussion about what
can be achieved. They will focus on two main themes:


     * The integration of research repositories with university systems,
processes and policies especially those connected with research management.


     * Projects and initiatives to promote the repository within the
institution in order to increase the deposit of full text items. This will
have multi-disciplinary focus and include arts and humanities content as
well as STEM subjects
