Welcome to the Repositories Support Project Professional Briefing & Networking Event This talk is about embedding your repository in institutional custom and practice. It draws on a number of examples, that we’d encourage you to follow up. It won’t have all the answers – but will highlight best/good practice. Above all we hope it offers practical advice for you to reflect on. [Author’s note] This talk is designated INTRODUCTORY level in content – in order to be used with an advanced audience significant revision will be required. University of Northampton, Northamptonshire 15th November 2007
