BACKGROUND: The first version of the document was released in July 2007
and stemmed from requests received by the SHERPA team for examples of
job descriptions of repository posts. SHERPA partners, UKCoRR members
and the general repository community contributed greatly to its design
through comments and suggestions. The document was not designed to
describe the skills set required of a particular repository post but
rather is a list of the entire set of skills, knowledge and abilities
required for the development and management of a successful
institutional repository.
The document is revised annually and has been used by the community in a
variety of ways including: job descriptions, plans for repository
development and staffing, seek funding from institutions, renegotiating
salaries/job profiles and regarding and in identifying skill gaps and
areas for staff training.
