Welcome

This toolkit is aimed at both staff within institutions charged with developing repositories and at researchers wanting to find out more about open access and how they can engage with it.

This toolkit is an output of the Institutional Repository Infrastructure for Scotland (IRIScotland) project, funded by the Joint Information Systems Committee (JISC) as part of its Digital Repositories Programme

The toolkit is published primarily as a website to allow a variety of interested parties including researchers, managers, technical staff and librarians to access and contextualise appropriate components. The toolkit has also been produced as the IRIScotland repository toolkit, a single linear PDF document enabling distribution in paper format.

The toolkit is the joint production of Morag Greig and Susan Ashworth of Glasgow University Library, and Theo Andrew of Edinburgh University Library. Gordon Dunsire of the Centre for Digital Library Research provided the website design and structure and assisted with editing.

The principal partners of the IRIScotland project were Edinburgh University Library, Glasgow University Library, the National Library of Scotland, and the Centre for Digital Library Research.

The project was steered by a group with representatives from the Scottish Confederation of University and Research Libraries, Universities Scotland, the Scottish Universities Physics Alliance, the Scottish further education sector, and the Scottish Library and Information Council as well as the principal partners.
