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/
