In early June, the Repositories Support Project (RSP) held an interesting and well-received event on "Scholarly Communications: New Developments in Open Access." The event was attended by librarians, repositories specialists, research officers and copyright consultants. Presentations were held on open access, social media, data citation, and research networking.

You can view the presentations by downloading Powerpoints, or watching YouTube videos of the original event.
Future events include webinars on "Repositories: management, policies and best practices" and "Bibliometrics: A way of demonstrating the importance of institutional research".

RSP is a JISC-funded initiative to build "repository capacity, knowledge and skills within UK higher education institutions. The project aim is to "progress the vision of a deployed network of interoperable repositories for academic papers, learning materials and research data across the UK."
