Hello again,
If I can add a quick addendum to my list of UK-based projects looking at
the interaction between institutional and subject repositories, a
colleague has reminded me of another relevant project.
'Options review of the ways in which institutional and subject
repositories can productively interact'
http://www.jisc.ac.uk/whatwedo/programmes/digitalrepositories2007/institutio
nalsubjectrepositories.aspx
It hasn't released its final report yet but this should be available in
a few weeks,
regards,
John
