Event Overview
Policies are integral to the creation and development of any successful IR.
A well-thought-out approach to creating and developing policy documents
creates a firm base on which to build an IR.
Strong policies -
- reflect the aims of the IR within the institution
- integrate the repository into the institution
- engage senior management
Policies also guide IR staff in areas such as
- IPR/copyright
- takedown strategy
- other of the more practical aspects of running an IR
This day aims to facilitate the sharing of information on policy. The first
part of the day will showcase many different approaches to policy from a
wide spectrum of institutions. The second part of the day will involve a led
workshop on the creating and ongoing development of IR policy. Delegates are
welcome to bring along examples of policy documents or specific questions
for use in the workshop session.
There will also be time in the day to network with other IR staff and with
the speakers.
This event is free and open to all UK HEI staff, though preference will be
given to SUE project staff if the event is over subscribed.
Who should attend?
The events are aimed at staff who are either setting up an institutional
repository (IR) or are already running an IR and are wanting to develop
their repository further. The programme aims to support IR staff with
practical sessions from people working in relevant fields and also to
facilitate networking among the UK HEI repositories community.
