The FAIR Programme
• Focus on Access to Institutional Resources
• Investigating the deposit and disclosure of institutional resources– includes research outputs
• e-prints and e-theses
• Additional funding for Eprints provided at start of FAIR Programme– Five projects using Eprints software at over
20 institutions– Funding expires September 2004

Software Developments within JISC
• Many projects produce software• JISC is not a software house
– Funds what is required to serve JISC’s needs, i.e., nationally-focused
– Limited resources for long-term support– Concentrates on seed-funding
• Variety of routes used by projects– OSS– Commercial– Partnership– Project-funding

Requirements for Eprints
• Underlying points to address to inform future development– What is Eprints?– Who are its stakeholders?– What is it used for?– What is its competition?

Issues
• Technical development path– Is current architecture/platform the most
appropriate?
• Skills sets required– How to facilitate institutional/organisational
take-up
• Eprints in the context of the wider role of repositories
