Subject: RAND reports on repositories and strategy

Some list members will already have come across the recent RAND-Europe 
report "Embracing the future" which was prepared by RAND for the 
SHERPA-LEAP (London Eprints Access Project) Consortium.  The RAND team was 
asked to look at some of the issues around embedding repositories in 
institutional strategy: drivers, barriers, and interventions which might be

pursued.

RAND conducted a small series of interviews across three case study 
institutions (Birkbeck, LSE and UCL), with a range of repository 
stakeholders including researchers and lecturers, senior management and 
Heads of Department, External Relations, and Library and IT staff, to learn

more about their perceptions and motivations.  Obviously the report is only

a snapshot, with a small and qualitative evidence base, but a fresh 
perspective may be of interest nonetheless.  It is available here: 
http://www.rand.org/pubs/technical_reports/TR625.

The report now comes with a much shorter companion paper focusing on 
potential ways of addressing the challenges of sustaining institutional 
repositories: this will be published as a freely available RAND Briefing 
Paper in the new year, but the final draft can be accessed at 
http://eprints.ucl.ac.uk/13963.

These reports are outputs of the EMBRACE project, which is co-funded by the

JISC.  RAND Europe is an independent, not-for-profit research institution 
which helps to improve policy and decision-making through research and 
analysis.

Cheers,
Martin
