  1. Self-archiving at Southamptona case study University of Cambridge 10 January 2008http://eprints.soton.ac.uk Wendy WhiteHartley LibraryUniversity of SouthamptonFull moon by Pauline Simpson and Jessie Hey

  2. TARDIS project • E-prints Soton established in 2004 through the JISC funded TARDIS Project and then embedded into the working practice of the University • Understanding and working with the different research cultures key in this multi-disciplinary University with 3 Faculties and 24 Schools • Strong backing from the University Executive Group • Early practice and research from Department of Electronics and Computer Science

  3. Southampton Press Release15 Dec 2004 Prof Paul Curran DVC for Research ‘We see our Institutional Repository as a key tool for the stewardship of the University’s digital research assets,’ said Professor Paul Curran, Deputy Vice Chancellor of the University. ‘It will provide greater access to our research, as well as offering a valuable mechanism for reporting and recording it.’

  4. University of Southampton: RAE driver Prof Philip Nelson DVC for Research and Enterprise • University mandate for all potential RAE outputs to be deposited • Funding to boost IR support for the RAE • Aim for IR to be fully embedded as tool for research support • Endorsement from DVC for Research and Heads of Schools

  6. The ideal research journey • Part of capturing a public representation of the complete research output of the University • Increase the visibility of early career researchers and develop repositories as an active part of the research culture • Aim to embrace the technology • Currently involved in projects Datashare and KULTUR to further expand holdings of multi-media and primary data

  7. Deep liaisonchallenge • Challenge of getting “deep” levels of liaison e.g. technical staff, School RAE Manager, School editors, Deputy Heads of School Research, Heads of Schools • Challenge of linking all the drivers for change to create a cycle of activity - open access, research management, changing technical infrastructure • “One record for many purposes” - open access to research, metadata to export to grant proposals, feed stream to populate School web pages with record and full text for personal listings

  8. Save time and add value One Good Record For Many Purposes open access to research, metadata to export to grant proposals, feed to populate School web pages with record and full text for personal listings, feed to library catalogue for PhD theses
