Any gathering of information would be very useful.
At UEA we have Pure, which currently feeds records through to Eprints.
We add etheses directly into Eprints as we didn't originally have the student module within Pure.
At the moment there are administrators who check all the material before it's added in Pure. There is a process of training researchers, but I don't know how many have actively engaged with updating their records yet.
There is a desire to remove Eprints & use Pure only - via the enhanced portal.
I have been trying to find institutions that just use Pure, and no longer have a repository. I've struggled to do this as many have the information in Pure but also retain a repository.
I struggle with the idea that a "current research" Inf system will act as a repository of historical material. But perhaps it's evolving. At the moment useful services such as Irus don't work with Pure.
Best wishes
