Is there another list of Institutional Repositories of UK Higher
Education Institutions? I now the DOAR and the ROAR but I might be
missing something.
http://www.opendoar.org/
http://roar.eprints.org/
Recently, on the DOAR I counted only 56 IR actually described as having
institution-wide scope, plus a few more with a smaller scope that could
possible transition into IR. ROAR was similarly listing 65 UK
repositories categorised as "Research Institutional or Departmental".
However, my impression is that probably most UK Higher Education
institutions either have an institution-wide Institutional Repository,
or are setting it up as we speak.
Many thanks.

Talat, this is the canard that institutional OA activists like you
should
set as your highest priority target for debunking! I think that it is an
even bigger obstacle to the adoption of Green OA self-archiving mandates
than the (equally groundless) worry that staff would resent or fail to
comply with a mandate.
There is a simple, legal, decisive, and universal solution to all
copyright-related worries: Do not mandate OA. Mandate *deposit*, and
leave
the decision as to whether to set access to the deposit as Open Access
or Closed Access (only the bibliographic metadata accessible) up to
the author.
This is the Immediate-Deposit/Optional-Access (ID/OA) mandate, and it is
the default mandate that all OA activists should be aiming for (unless,
of course, they can get an even stronger one without any opposition or
delay).
Nature, and human nature, will take care of the rest.
