Embracing the future: embedding digital repositories in the University of London. Briefing paper
This briefing paper captures the key findings and recommendations of
a study commissioned by the Joint Information Systems Committee
(JISC) on aspects of the strategic commitment of institutions to
repository sustainability.1 This project, labelled EMBRACE (EMBedding
Repositories And Consortial Enhancement) is aimed at enhancing the
functionality, inter-operability and extensibility of the SHERPA-LEAP
repository service, which currently supports the repositories of
thirteen University of London institutions. This briefing paper aims to
clarify the different motivations to use and invest in digital
repositories, and potential ways to address the challenges to
embedding these repositories in institutional strategy and daily
operation are highlighted. It is designed for use by Higher Education
Institutions (HEIs), who are encouraged to adapt the recommendations
to their specific context
Embracing the future: embedding digital repositories in the University of London
Digital repositories can help Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) to develop coherent and coordinated approaches to capture, identify, store and retrieve intellectual assets such as datasets, course material and research papers. With the advances of technology, an increasing number of Higher Education Institutions are implementing digital repositories. The leadership of these institutions, however, has been concerned about the awareness of and commitment to repositories, and their sustainability in the future.
This study informs a consortium of thirteen London institutions with an assessment of current awareness and attitudes of stakeholders regarding digital repositories in three case study institutions. The report identifies drivers for, and barriers to, the embedding of digital repositories in institutional strategy. The findings therefore should be of use to decision-makers involved in the development of digital repositories. Our approach was entirely based on consultations with specific groups of stakeholders in three institutions through interviews with specific individuals.
