"Will all material deposited there be accessible to everyone. Is it possible to have various levels of privacy?"

On the 25th November, The Office of the University Director of Research in collaboration with LIS organised an introduction to the Institutional Repository for Research Cluster leaders and other interested researchers.

You may already be aware of the UCLan Institutional Repository Project. However, if not, this newsletter introduces the project, the Institutional Repository and its potential for you.

October has seen the start of the procurement process; the orders for the EPrints Services and a server are currently being processed.

After a very productive site visit to the EPrint Repository at Liverpool University, the project Team have selected EPrints as the Institutional Repository here at Uclan.

The presentations by the Repository software suppliers have taken place. The team have now narrowed the shortlist down to two potential suppliers: PTFS and Eprints.

The first six months of the project has been spent setting up the project structure which includes a Project Board and Project Team.  We have contacted  interested parties to create a project  team  to represent different areas of the University that will be involved with using the Institutional Repository.
