Four’s a crowd

Posted on September 30th, 2010 by Paul Stainthorp

I’ve all of a sudden found myself ‘in charge’ of a team, which is both gratifying and a little bit scary.

@evarol joined me today in the brand-new post of Library (E-resources) Assistant. The other two posts in the Library’s nascent E-resources Team both relate to the management and advocacy of the University’s Repository. I then report to one of two Deputy Librarians; they in turn to the University Librarian. There’s nothing like a good hierarchy to keep the biblioentropy in check.

Here’s a diagram showing how we fit together; as a courtesy to my other colleagues I’ve not named them (though you could probably work out the entire structure of the University using only public sources)…

UKCoRR committee website

UKCoRR, the United Kingdom Council of Research Repositories, is an “independent body for repository managers, administrators and staff in the UK“.

Because I manage the Library’s work in supporting our own Lincoln Repository at the University, I’ve been a member of UKCoRR for several years: and since April 2010 I’ve been sitting on the 5-person UKCoRR committee as ‘External Liaison Officer’; my purpose being to “develop the relationship between UKCoRR and other organisations working in repository management & development, publishing & OA, research support, academia and librarianship”.

The UKCoRR website, including minutes of the committee’s meetings, is at: http://www.ukcorr.org/
