Bringing repositories to the attention of university senior managers
There are two new JISC briefing papers on repositories. One is concerned with the benefits of managing and sharing learning objects, the other with managing and sharing research outputs.
JISC and UUK are sending these papers to senior managers in universities next week. The papers should arrive on desks on Monday 16th of June. With any luck, the briefing papers will pique some interest in repositories or at least make sure the concept is familiar to senior managers.
This may represent an opportunity for capitalising on this familiarity or interest with further advocacy directed at senior managers about repository services, policies or projects.
The recipients are likely to be:
- Vice Chancellors,
- DVC Academic,
- DVC Research,
- University Secretary,
- Deans of Schools
Plus some of:
- Records Manager,
- Dean of the Graduate Research School,
- Director of ICT Systems,
- Director of Library& Information Services,
- Director Academic Enterprise,
- Principal Lecturer Pathfinder E-Learning (central post)
The briefing papers can be found on the JISC website:
