The document discusses the importance of repository policies and the evolution of policies at the Leicester University Repository (LRA). Key points: 1) Policies underpin repository development, practices, and provide transparency/clarity. They are important for coping with staff changes. 2) LRA policies have evolved from a focus on submissions and metadata to also address issues like bibliometrics, data archiving, mandates for electronic theses deposits, and publisher rights. 3) Both internal and external drivers like metrics, research assessment, and national developments have shaped policy changes to ensure the sustainability and growth of the LRA over time.
