Abstract of session • In the UK we have passed beyond the first stage of repository adoption, with a significant number of institutional repositories now gathering content. While much remains to be done in getting complete coverage within all HEIs, the first wave of establishment is becoming embedded within institutional processes. How are these repositories developing beyond their original conception, with different content and usage? How are institutions responding to the opportunities and challenges that are arising, from funder mandates, publishers' options and the needs of information management? • This session will offer an interactive opportunity to examine these issues, opportunities and emergent best practice.
