A digital repository can hold a wide range of materials for a variety of purposes and users. It can support learning, research and administrative processes. This event will showcase a range of research and development work in this area, and demonstrate how it can be practically applied by those working within institutions.

Digital repositories: Dealing with the digital deluge

Presentations available from the conference programme

Supporting institutions in the digital age

About 200 delegates attended the JISC Digital Repositories Conference held in Manchester including researchers, teachers, advisors and managers within UK universities and colleges.

Repositories are important for universities and colleges in helping to capture, manage, and share institutional assets as a part of their information strategy. A digital repository can hold a wide range of materials for a variety of purposes and users. It can support learning, research and administrative processes.

This event showcased a range of research and development work in this area, and demonstrated how it can be practically applied by those working within institutions.  The aim of the conference was to put this work in the context of a vision for a UK repository network, whereby managing and sharing resources is straightforward and effective, and put UK work in a global perspective.
