Developing Repositories at Worcester

Abstract

The paper is a short report on the JISC-funded DRaW project written by the Project Director Andrew Rothery on behalf of the project team. The project has run for two years and finishes 31 March 2009. During that time considerable progress has been made establishing online repositories for staff publications and for learning and teaching materials, and a co-ordinated support structure has been put into place to underpin the growing culture of repository use at the university. Dealing with educational material has proved to be the most difficult aspect to deal with but the project team has identified what needs to be done in future to create a more satisfactory approach to managing learning and teaching resources
