Implementing an Institutional Repository for Leeds Metropolitan University-Final report

Leeds Met has been funded under the Repositories Start Up programme to establish an institutional repository. The project began with an institutional needs analysis, which resulted in the starting point for the population of the repository to be based on research outputs, with a clear mandate that the software platform should be extensible to support outputs of assessment, learning and teaching, as well as a range of other materials. The project team led the procurement of a suitable software platform, intraLibrary, and this was implemented in June 2008. Up until this point, the project team had concentrated the bulk of their activities on the procurement and also on advocacy activities. The result of the latter has been that the repository already has a high profile within the University.
