Background

Learning and teaching or research repository?
• Both
• Main focus is learning and teaching materials, e.g. C4C CETL
• Research material considered towards end of project
• Local factors, plus flexibility of software

Slow take-up?
• Steady take-up
• Dissemination within institution - Article in staff magazine YorkTalk - Poster at internal Learning and Teaching conference - Project board - Lunchtime sessions - A lot of talking!

Additional material

Different approaches?
• Learning and teaching materials – showcase, reuse
• Research materials – long-term storage and open access, potential for plagiarism, bibliometrics
• Advocacy

Summary
• Aim of project – learning and teaching materials
• Research material – not primary focus
• Knowledge about what archive can do generates further interest
• Importance of advocacy
