Following the start of the joint venture it is carrying out together with the University of St Andrews and the Scottish Digital Library Consortium (SDLC), RepNet has recently been invited to deliver a guest talk at the PURE UK User Group meeting to be held next month at the University of Dundee. This presentation will make emphasis on the fact that additional HEIs might benefit from a similar work programme for enhancing their research information management (RIM) system functionalities, with or without direct RepNet involvement in such activity.

A meeting was held last week at EDINA with the Open Access Working Group coordination within the PURE UK UG in order to set up the guidelines for RepNet’s presentation. A preliminary survey has been set up in the meantime for any PURE UK UG member institution willing to provide their input prior to the UG meeting in terms of interest and/or readiness for RIM system enhancement.
