Dear Colleagues,</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The Repositories Support Project is delighted to announce a
new ‘buddying’ scheme for the benefit of repository practitioners
in the UK. This initiative is being launched by the RSP, but it is
anticipated that this is a scheme that could be co-ordinated by the United
Kingdom Council of Research Repositories (UKCoRR) in the fullness of time.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The idea is simple – we would like to create a
directory of repository managers and administrators who would be willing to give
up a little of their time to welcome colleagues from nearby institutions who would
visit to see how things are done in other local institutions.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Initially we would like to create a basic record of practitioners
who would be prepared to give up some of their time to explain how things are
done in their institution and provide some local assistance.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">If you would be interested in taking part or would like
further details please contact me directly. Once the scheme is up and
running further details will be available on the RSP website.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I look forward to hearing from you!</p>
