Keeping what we’ve learned

Initially 

»Institutions voiced preference for full-text deposit

Now

»Priority is to alert institutions to as much of their content as we can

»Alert at acceptance, update on publication

»Aiming for rapid expansion of content captured

»Open to serve more institutions in 2016

»Exploring international interoperability

Your priorities – how can we help?

Some ideas:»Pass on metadata-only notifications from PubMed (wider A&I database) – some of these are at or near acceptance

»Sharing between institutional repositories – co-author problem

»Initial balance of OA vs non-OA publishers – try to go for “big 5”?
