Rapid Innovation

• 2007-04-03T20:35 Chris Rusbridge comes up with a ‘mad idea’

• We talk. It’s not so mad.

• 2007-04-05T16:15 Amber Thomas has reworked the call and the budget

• #jiscri is born.


73

First rapid innovation projects

• MrCute: repository module for MOODLE

• SNEEP: social net stuff for eprints

• Fedorazon: repositories in the (amazon) cloud


74

What have we got ?

• Lots of repositories

• Better services for finding, depositing, doing

• We’re using repositories for much more than research papers

• Building links with e-research, institutional admin, teaching and learning

• More tools around metadata and preservation


75

Why were we doing it

• More research; better research; more impact

• Better teaching & learning ; reusable content

• Cheaper, faster, better admin processes

• Linking up to worldwide services and networks

• Innovation


76

Where next ?

• Moving away from boutique model

• Getting joined-up international activity

• Repos as a service, not a place

• Expose content, join content, reuse, exploit, share

• Link with publishing, research, teaching
