In preparation for the next Research Excellence Framework
the university needs to develop an institutional repository in order to meet
the requirements of the REF Open Access policy.
The Library and CSD are developing our University Repository
for this purpose, and a “sandbox” version of the Repository is now available at
http://tept.liv.ac.uk.
We want to ensure that the Repository meets your needs as
well as those of the Research Excellence Framework, and so over summer the
sandbox University Repository will be available for you to test out its
features and experiment with uploading information.
We will gather feedback and make announcements of
developments on this blog, where you can also get further details of the what and why of the Repository (see earlier entries below).
This is your chance to tell us what features you would like to see added and
what needs to be improved.
As this is a sandbox version of the Repository you can add
dummy items and try out different use cases. We will be re-setting the sandbox
at points during the summer, so don’t be surprised to find new features added,
and items you have created no longer there. A Deposit Guide is available from
the Repository homepage to get you started.
The Repository includes publication details imported from
both TULIP and the old Research Archive (an earlier system using the same
software as the new University Repository). These data will in some cases be
less than ideal, but as part of the testing period you can try out editing
records.
Acting on your feedback, the full version of the Repository
(including full integration with TULIP to ensure that items appear in your
profile pages) will then be launched in time for the start of the new academic
session.
