• or, put another way,
• How can the RP Programme help HEIs to exploit
  what has been learned?
• Professor Jeff Haywood
• Vice Principal Knowledge Management, Chief
  Information Officer Librarian to the University

• Some questions I get asked
• What are we going to do about all our research
  data that is getting lost or cannot be recovered?
• Will we be first in our (region/group..) to get
  our publications repository deposit mandate?
• Whose owns these teaching materials? Where
  should we store our copies?
• Weve got a channel in iTunesU but where/how do
  we upload files?
• Are we able to move away from hardcopy PhD
  theses?
• Who pays for funder-mandated open access
  publishing?

PRIORITIES??

Technology adding value to the HEI in terms of
its strategic goals

• Why bother with repositories?
• default position is nul do nothing esp if s
  are low
• so we will not take action unless we can see how
  they help our HEI to
• increase productivity individually or
  collaboratively
• enhance reputation / recognition
• improve quality
• increase income
• lower costs
• action can be at HEI-wide level, at unit level or
  at individual level

• Some questions
• So I need clarity / advice / support from you
  on answering these sorts of questions

How should we categorise our stuff
collect
curate
store
recover
preserve
secure

collaborate with
How do we get hold of other peoples stuff
And how do we get to grips with the economics of
all this???

• Can you help me decide which model for storing
  stuff?
• (Inter)National
• Regional
• HEI
• Individual
• Someone else pays (topslice)
• Shared costs (consortium)
• Subscription to service (pay-as-u-go)
• Question Which model works best for which type
  of stuff / which desired outcomes?

• Hard to see how to engage with the themes
• Hard to see how to reach to the outcomes
  lessons

  knows exists
• Not clear how to answer my questions ? actions
