    An Introduction to EPrints 3.2
    (Georgia Institute of Technology, 2009-05-20) Carr, Leslie A. ; Brody, Tim
    In this session we will be introducing EPrints 3.2 and some of the new features. These include: * Storage Controller - allows hybrid solutions to be built using both local and cloud level storage. * FTP and WebDAV Support - new ways to connect your desktop to the repository. * SWORD 2 (v1.3) Support - allowing direct deposit of documents from Microsoft Office 2007. * Enhancements to repository web site management - edit repository pages directly from web page editors such as dreamweaver. * ... and others from the list of proposed features for EPrints 3.2. In sessions 5 and 6 there will be opportunity for hands on experience.

    Repositories and CRISes for Research Management
    (Georgia Institute of Technology, 2009-05-20) Carr, Leslie A.
    Research assessment has become a major business activity for the UK academic community. A national research assessment excercise is distributing funding worth £7.5 billion to the community. A number of UK universities deployed repositories to provide evidence of research quality for the RAE 2008. The experience of these institutions shows that engagement with research assessment agendas gives a higher profile to the repository and the repository staff, and tends to make the repository more embedded in key institutional processes. In preparation for the next process, universities are engaging in proactive research management to maximise their future assessment scores; knowledge that the repository can provide about historic research outputs and their impact is being married with financial data on current research projects. CERIF is a European Union Recommendation to Member States for the purposes of exchange of R & D Information between CRIS (Current Research Information Systems) systems in order to meet the diverse needs of researchers, administrators, strategists, and policy-makers. The information that CERIF models includes People (researchers and inventors), Projects, Organizations (funding agencies, universities, hospitals), Results (publications, patents and products), Facilities (libraries, laboratories), and Equipment. CERIF therefore has the potential to handle much of the information that is likely to be relevant to the research management and research assessment processes. This presentation will describe the approach of the JISC R4R project, whose aim is to integrate library-led Institutional Repositories and admin-led Current Research Information Systems.
