Set in the context of a well established repository at a typical „new‟ university, the proposed project will implement a number of the best existing repository tools and services to gain efficiencies in research workflows, improve the repository interface, meet obligations for sharing theses via EThOS and contribute to the institution‟s preparation for the forthcoming REF. Promotion, training and advocacy focused on the new services will encourage researchers to engage further with NECTAR, resulting in increasing numbers of deposits and a newly invigorated repository service – one with plenty of buzz!
