British Library Shared Repository Service 2023-2025

自2018年以来，大英图书馆的共享知识库服务为英国文化遗产IRO提供了一个平台，以分享AHRC资助的组织产生的广泛研究成果：从出版作品到播客，展览到数据，博客文章到灰色文献。自2021年以来，存储库服务已获得iDAH资金，这一投资清楚地表明了AHRC对存储库服务的承诺，作为实现网络遗产研究iDAH目标的一种手段。最近一轮的iDAH融资促进了平台的重大改进。它现在完全符合Plan-S的技术要求，并改进了Universal Viewer的功能，使用户无需下载即可查看输出。存储库服务还受益于BL的研究基础设施服务团队的iDAH资助资源，他们维护存储库平台，加入新的合作伙伴，协助现有合作伙伴并在英国各地举办培训活动，以帮助在整个行业（甚至通过我们的在线课程在全球范围内）嵌入开放获取原则和最佳数据管理实践。我们将继续分享我们开发服务的经验，并向国际上提供类似服务的其他公司学习。在过去的一年里，IRO和其他文化遗产组织一直受到iDAH对知识库服务的持续资助的鼓舞，我们已经有三个合作伙伴等待加入。多个正在等待加入该服务的IRO告诉我们，AHRC为存储库提供资金的承诺对他们加入该服务的决定至关重要。我们的讨论证实，大多数国家没有资源建立自己的存储库，如果在此时这样做，而不是考虑一个共同的备选方案，将需要非常详细的理由。因此，AHRC iDAH再提供18个月的资金将使我们能够扩大服务范围，以便：通过对共享存储库服务的信任，为那些已经等待加入并鼓励其他人注册的组织提供支持;为较小的AHRC资助的组织试点“通用”存储库;实现可信的数字存储库认证;并继续提供学术交流最佳实践的培训。

Since 2018, the British Library's Shared Repository Service has offered UK cultural heritage IROs a platform to share the wide range of research outputs produced by AHRC-funded organisations: from published works to podcasts, exhibitions to data, and blog posts to grey literature. Since 2021, the repository service has received iDAH funding, an investment that has clearly signalled AHRC's commitment to the repository service as a means of delivering iDAH goals of networked heritage research. The most recent round of iDAH funding facilitated significant improvements to the platform. It is now wholly compliant with Plan-S technical requirements and has improved the Universal Viewer functionality, which allows users to view outputs without having to download them. The repository service has also benefitted from iDAH-funded resourcing across the BL's Research Infrastructure Services team, who maintain the repository platform, onboard new partners, assist current partners and run training events across the UK to help embed Open Access principles and best data management practices throughout the sector (even globally via our online sessions). We continue to share our experiences of developing the service, and learn from others delivering similar offerings, internationally. Over the last year, IROs and other cultural heritage organisations have been encouraged by iDAH's continued funding of the repository service and we have three partners already waiting to join. Multiple IROs who are waiting to join the service have told us that the AHRC's commitment to fund the repository is critical to their decision to join the service. Our discussions have confirmed that most do not have the resource to set up their own repository and that to do so at this point, rather than considering a shared option, would require very detailed justification. AHRC iDAH funding for a further 18 months will therefore enable us to expand the service to: onboard those organisations already waiting to join and encourage others to sign up by signalling trust in the Shared Repository Service; pilot a 'general purpose' repository for smaller AHRC-funded organisations; achieve trusted digital repository certification; and continue to deliver training in scholarly communications best practice.
