The Repository Support Project is a JISC funded 2.5 year project to
co-ordinate and deliver good practice and practical advice to English
and Welsh HEIs to enable the implementation, management and development
of digital institutional repositories. The project is being led by
SHERPA, University of Nottingham, with core partners, Aberystwyth
University, and UKOLN at the University of Bath. Other funded partners
are the University of Southampton and the Digital Curation Centre. All
partners represent key centres of expertise regarding repositories, and
the project will build on their previous national and international
activity across the repositories landscape.
EPrints open source software is a flexible platform for building high
quality, high value repositories. It is recognised as the easiest and
fastest way to set up repositories of research outputs of literature,
scientific data, theses and reports or multimedia artefacts from
collections, exhibitions and performances.
