Confusion, lack of awareness, poor practice, contradictory policy and risk aversion currently dominate thinking about this subject at all levels – particularly amongst senior management. This is presenting a major obstacle to the effective uptake of e-learning in our tertiary education system. In this pack we explicitly link the task of overhauling the IPR regimes in our institutions to the organisational and professional ‘process change' that is required to make effective use of e-learning – especially in relation to the introduction and extension of flexible learning delivery.

We describe the shared and collaborative repository infrastructure and services which are being progressively embedded into our university research environment. By 1410 the time had come to establish a seat of learning, of international standing, in Scotland. The mechanisms and technology which underpin scholarly communication may have changed dramatically over 600 years but the need to communicate that research is as strong as ever. In the past decade we have seen local and separate repository services and research information systems within our institution develop synergies and interdependencies. Once these services become coordinated at institutional level then they transform into a much more powerful tool to serve up local content on a global scale and to provide real impact. Our experience demonstrates that there is no “best” model to embed repository services or to achieve that collaborative infrastructure. Rather that model evolves by adapting and linking the initial core services. This is a DSpace repository and e-theses service, now closely linked to a PURE CRIS. Key services built on top are our Journal Hosting service (OJS), a strong emphasis on funder mandate compliance and open access advocacy and support. Our services are as much about the discovery of skills and knowledge within our own institution and amongst our own support staff and researchers as they are about the wider outreach and global discovery of our research.

St Andrews University is one of the partners in the project, whose overall management and direction is controlled by CDLR at Strathclyde University. Other partners in the project are Napier University and a consortium of ten Glasgow Colleges of Further Education and the John Wheatley College. One of the key areas of the project, and the one which St Andrews is primarily involved in, is the creation of metadata which will be harvested and disclosed by Strathclyde. St Andrews’ remit is to: (1) create a suitable archive which will deliver metadata in an approved format, simultaneously addressing the issues of standardization and interoperability; (2) gather institutional material for the archive. ‘Institutional material’ means any material generated at St Andrews either in the present or in the past. The focus will be both on research work (at any level) and administrative/informative documents. If the material is from the present, then eprints would act to disseminate current material – in the case of research, it would serve to increase the impact of any work, in the case of informative material it could be used both by prospective and by current staff and students to learn more about the University, its facilities and its regulations. From this point of view an ancillary function might be to fulfil the requirements of the Freedom of Information Act. If the material is from the past, then the eprints repository will function as an archive. Consequently this is an Institutional eprints archive which focuses on exposing the resources of a specific academic community unlike the majority of subject-specific archives which accept data from a variety of institutions e.g. ArXive, CogPrints; (3) report on the problems encountered in the above two actions.

The move to the new service was primarily driven by University Library planning and policy which clearly identified the need for improved service provision to the local, national and international research community by making the change in the deposit and delivery mechanism. University strategic planning with regard to making research outputs available to a wider audience was also a major driver to the development. This has been achieved by the transfer of the deposit procedure from the previous format of print copies of theses delivered in closed access in library stack to free online delivery in an open access institutional repository. The number of theses in the St Andrews Digital Research Repository is now in excess of 200 items. The success of the current service is very dependent on key partnerships which have been established between relevant agencies within the institution. Communication and establishment of workflows between the Library and the Academic Management and Support Office are crucial. Collaboration to support and train postgraduate students in the new deposit procedures has very much focused on partnerships between the Library, Copyright and FOI officers, Supervisors and the St Andrews Gradskills programme which is specifically designed to develop postgraduate research skills. The process has been one of constant re-evaluation of institutional and user needs and the provision of a high quality service. This has resulted in the development of relevant policies with regard to restrictions/embargoes, support for copyright issues, support for technical and file format issues, and streamlined workflows for administrators of the institutional repository. There have also been significant training and reskilling issues for university staff working closely with the service and many opportunities for contact with other relevant projects and external support agencies. This poster describes how our thesis service has developed and how the institutional framework has been put in place to support the service. It suggests key factors which must be addressed to enable such a service to grow and become embedded in institutional practice. The current electronic thesis deposit service in St Andrews should also be seen in the context of local policy to encourage the retrospective digitization of earlier theses and the establishment of workflows and permission letters to authors to achieve this. This also includes membership of the national EThos project. A further context is the inclusion of electronic theses into the St Andrews Digital Research Repository which is now just developing a service to extend its content into all University Research Publications by feeding content from the University's Research Expertise Database. This will make significant changes in the scholarly communication process for all St Andrews research outputs.
