A first meeting was held last week as part of the RepNet’s stakeholder engagement strand for testing the institutional repository enhancements discussed last January 21st at the joint RepNet/RSP workshop in London. The meeting took place at the University of St Andrews Library and gathered U of St Andrews CRIS/IR staff, an SDLC representative and the RepNet. Discussions were held on a previously drafted checklist of technical enhancements and how these could be implemented on the specific system configuration run at U of St Andrews.

The RepNet is at the same time working on the collection of CRIS/IR use cases at UK HEIs. This joint work for a specific CRIS+IR use case at U of St Andrews will provide useful input on how required platform enhancements such as RIOXX implementation, IRUS-UK adoption or SWORD endpoint customisation can be dealt with for different system configurations.
