Notes from the usual Friday afternoon gathering of the Repository team in Enterprise@Lincoln.
- The Repository passed 3,000 records on 25 March (full blog post about this to follow), and 3,100 records on 14 April. That works out at 50 records/week, a rate of review which other universities have described as “aspirational”! The Library’s student comms & engagement officer, Steve Pannett, is creating a flyer to mark the 3,000 milestone. I’m also baking a celebratory 3,000-items cake for next week.
- PS has been working on a couple of high-level advocacy and planning documents, aimed at the University Core Executive, and on a staffing document to help us to plan the level of support for the Repository after April.
- RoS has been working with a number of staff to help them to deposit sizeable publication backlogs. She’s also just blogged the latest on the Kultivate project advocacy workshop which took place at the end of February, and is busy uploading all of her Repository help guides and training materials to Google Docs.
- BJ and RoS attended an event on 24 March entitled ‘SHERPA/RoMEO for Repository Administrators‘, which—as well as providing an update on some new features of the RoMEO service—covered a range of copyright issues. BJ is distilling the event into a new Repository copyright flowchart/checklist for academic staff at Lincoln. You can download all the presentations from the event from the RSP’s website.
- As I’ve already blogged, we produced the latest Quarterly Research Output Report (Q4 2010) using Repository data on 4 April. The next report (Q1 2011) will be generated on or after 30 June 2011.
