Research Repository Case Studies

Abstract

A Research Repository Managers Symposium invites managers to submit a “Case Study” outlining the way that their institution has decided to deliver the requirements for ERA – Excellence in Research for Australia and PBRF Performance‐Based Research Fund in New Zealand. The symposium session asks authors of the case studies to briefly share their case studies, followed by a guided discussion session determined by participants. The Case Studies will be compiled into a comprehensive document for public distribution via the Educause Australasia 2009 Conference site. For other similar Case Studies see the ones compiled by Open Repositories 2008 Conference in the UK http://pubs.or08.ecs.soton.ac.uk/86/ The focus of this symposium is how Research Repositories support tertiary institutions in delivering Research Data Collection in Australia and New Zealand.
