Summary:
"Digital repositories have great potential for value added services and offer a range of benefits to researchers, teaching academics, learners, institutions, the global research community and the wider world. Some of these benefits will have been key drivers for the development of a repository whilst others may be unanticipated. Different repository models (research only repository, learning and teaching materials repository, mixed content repository, open repository) will have different benefits for each stakeholder group. This infoKit highlights these benefits by type of repository...A section of the infoKit covers A Management Framework that consists of a range of topics to guide a repository manager through the initial planning process for establishing an institutional repository. These include the planning approach, making a business case, identifying key stakeholders, the costs and benefits of a repository, risk management, strategic planning and a selection of practical planning tools covering repository staffing and training."
