Research is global We recently had a workshop thinking far ahead to the Global Research Library 2020 Willows Lodge Workshop Woodinville, Washington, USA 30 Sept – 2 nd Oct 2007 http://www.lib.washington.edu/grl2020/

We anticipate profound changes in science (becoming e-science or more broadly e-research) and in library community roles ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]

Institutional and related repositories Nov 2007 - symbols of change http://maps.repository66.org/ 6.6 million items in 813 repositories – up from 6.4 million items and 763 repositories August 2007

Institutional Repositories by size But beware: L. Carr, T. Brody: Size Isn’t Everything: Sustainable Repositories as Evidenced by Sustainable Deposit Profiles. DLib Magazine 13(7/8) July/August (2007) http://eprints.ecs.soton.ac.uk/13872 /

The future is joined up: the scholarly knowledge cycle (joining up research and learning) Our latest project http://www.edspace.ecs.soton.ac.uk/ is exploring the creation of a learning materials repository EdShare - part of our whole vision of the University of Southampton institutional repository Thanks to Liz Lyon

Next stages: projects aim for richer, better preserved ‘joined up’ repositories ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]

We represent Scientific authors well – how do we do justice to our Artists? IRs are multidisciplinary

But we are not alone! Everyone wants their own picture to showcase their expanding area ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]

Today we are thinking about Europe and Europe is now in the driving seat!

Real action by the UKPMC Funders Group (including the Wellcome Trust) provides a good exemplar

More subject based repositories affect IRs however ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]

The increasing activities in Europe – our first speaker ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]

Initiatives in different regions can be practical and appropriate ,[object Object]

On a local level ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
