“UKCoRR is an independent body for repository managers, administrators and staff in the UK that:
Promotes repository management as a recognised and respected profession
Provides a forum for discussion and exchange of experience
Represents the views and concerns of those who work with repositories in organisational, policy and strategic development…”
From the blog post: “The role of the repository manager is constantly evolving. The repository manager of today needs to be aware and interpret not only their affiliated institution’s open access policies, but also the national and international ones that emerge from public funding agencies. The proliferation of these policies introduces technical requirements for repositories, the use of current research information systems (CRIS) and the installation of various plug-ins for example, and often repository managers serve as intermediary between the IT department of their institution and their supervisors or library directors and have to communicate messages and requests. A couple of months ago on the UKCoRR members list we had a discussion around the specific technological terms that repository managers hear regularly.”
