Repositories and e-learning materials
The RSP briefing papers and the complete range of JISC briefing papers are designed to be complementary in coverage and approach. In particular, JISC has produced a briefing paper on sharing learning materials in repositories and another on managing and sharing research resources through repositories.
Planning checklists
These planning checklists are offered as a series of key questions designed to ‘make you think'. Please note that we have not crowded the presentation by trying to offer answers to the questions, many of which may be local or specific to each institution.
