Institutional repositories: a view in 2005
• Country update & trends D-Lib Magazine Sept 2005
– Germany 103, UK 31, Sweden 25
– Policy: Germany YES, UK RCUK draft
– National programmes: UK, Germany, Australia, Sweden,
Netherlands YES
• 14 institutions have a Self-Archiving Policy and 4
(Southampton, Queensland Univ Tech, Zurich and
CERN) have a mandate rather than a recommendation
• JISC £4M Digital Repository Programme started
• 13 Oct JISC announces extra £80M capital funding over

Repositories and digital curation
For later use?
In use now (and the future)?
Static
Dynamic
Data preservation
Data curation
“maintaining and adding value to a trusted body of
