Repositories and preservation programme - evaluation
From 2006-2009 JISC ran the repositories and preservation programme. This represented a 14 million pound investment in repositories to store the outputs of research and learning, the preservation of those outputs and the infrastructure and technologies necessary to manage this large scale curation of content. Full details of this programme and the 92 projects associated with it can be found on the jisc website.
We have recently received the evaluation report from the programme evaluators Evidence Base. The report can be found in the Information Environment repository. The report provides a good overview of what was acheived in the programme. However since the report is 98 pages long and few people outside of JISC will be interested in it in its entirety we thought it would be a good idea to summarise the report in a series of posts on this blog.
The posts will appear over the next few weeks and will address the following areas:
- Repositories
- Tools and innovations
- Standards and interoperability
- Shared infrastructure services
- Preservation
- Conclusions and the future
