Repositories are spreading because... Give easy access Give rapid access Give long-term access Increase readership and use of material They offer advantages to academics They offer advantages to institutions They offer advantages to research funders They offer new ways for information to be linked and used

National development Research-led universities adopting research repositories –extension with eTheses, data-sets, multimedia, etc Policies for development –from research funders –from institutions –from departments National perspective for services –of repositories, repository holdings –for search and analysis of contents –for UK research on the global stage

Futures 10 years - what changes are coming down the track and what responses are needed? What is inside your control and what is outside? Irrespective of repositories, author-side charges, open access - what will develop? Developments in the web and ICT alone will produce substantial change... Some themes...

Journals Governments will not loosen the purse strings Subscriptions per journal will continue to decline Continued agglomeration of publishing concerns Smaller publishers will continue to be squeezed and have to react The big and the nimble will survive Editorial and peer-review process will be technologically mediated Unbundling of products, processes and services - with a global marketplace for service provision

Academics and IT Increasing connectivity Increasing demand for rapid, permanent access, everywhere Increasing demand for more information Increasing demand for free access Information per se will be more freely available and the links between information will become the valued commodity

Research Full Economic Costing and Value For Money Public awareness and availability Raised awareness of IPR issues Institutions being pressured to capitalise on their assets Cross-disciplinary research Synthesis - evidence based research - data mining Emergence of global standards - quality control? - with a global marketplace for service provision

What will happen? Who knows? But whatever happens - If definitive versions are of value to research work (and they are) –then they will be used If journals are of value to research work (and they are) –then they will be used If publishers are of value to research work (and they are) –then they will be used If learned societies are of value to research work (and they are) –then they will be used If repositories of work are of value to research work (and they are) –then they will be used
