Lots of repositories

Better services for finding, depositing, doing

We’re using repositories for much more than research papers

Building links with e-research, institutional admin, teaching and learning

More tools around metadata and preservation

Why were we doing it More research; better research; more impact Better teaching & learning ; reusable content Cheaper, faster, better admin processes Linking up to worldwide services and networks Innovation

More research; better research; more impact

Better teaching & learning ; reusable content

Cheaper, faster, better admin processes

Linking up to worldwide services and networks
