• Short/medium term repository service
• Enables all UK academics to share in benefits of OA
• Enables all UK academics to meet the requirements of funder’s mandates
• Assists existing institutional repositories (IR) to make their existence known to their users
• Assists developing IRs to populate their repository
Services
1. a re-direct service – to ensure that content that comes within the remit of an existing institutional
repository is correctly placed
2. an OAI-compliant repository– for eprints from researchers at institutions that do not currently have an IR.
