JISC Information Environment and Digital Repositories workshop : JISC

JISC Information Environment and Digital Repositories workshop

Pre-conference workshop at WWW2006

Digital repositories, working within an integrated information environment, offer the potential to underpin a step-change in education and research. Repositories enable universities and colleges to share and manage their intellectual outputs, making existing work easier, more effective and efficient, and supporting innovative teaching, learning and research practice. This workshop will present the work JISC is funding to make this happen, and offer an opportunity for those working within universities to discuss how they might best exploit this work in their own context.

The aim of the workshop is deepen the shared understanding within the higher education community about the role of repositories. The target audience is researchers, teachers, managers and administrators who have an interest in sharing or managing the intellectual output of universities.

All presentations, details of closing panel and Q&A available.
