RSP Survey & Cerify
May 13, 2011 in CRIS by Richard Davis
Two bits of news just passed through my Tweetdeck that I thought worth sharing, in case any of you missed them.
- The JISC Repositories Support Project is surveying the UK research repository scene. and has an online questionnaire aimed at repository managers. You can find out more about it on the RSP Blog (and maybe even win an Ipod shuffle if you enter before July 31st). The results should make interesting reading as a snapshot of the repository landscape, and no doubt help us all determine what we are doing well, and what we could do better.
- For anyone with a current interest in Research Information Management systems, the work of UKOLN’s Cerify project looks to be particularly valuable. A closed “data surgery” event for the Cerify project partners is being held next week; but it looks like there will be public outputs, and, sooner or later, practical advice on the process of implementing the CERIF research information management standard. (The JISC RIM programme is managed by our good friend and former LEAP colleague Josh Brown.)
