Recent examples include: integration with Symplectic Elements CRIS for both Manchester Metropolitan University, UK, and the Natural History Museum, London;  integration with Converis CRIS for the University of Beds, UK;  CMS integration for Practical Action Repository; SAML 2.0 integration for University of Monterrey, Mexico; multi-lingual translations for the Laureate University Network, USA; PlumX Analytic integration for KAUST.

We are also a paying Registered Service Provider for DuraSpace, a part-commercial entity, part-advocacy body who are based in the United States, and facilitate various facets of activity relating to open-source  repository platforms 

If you have a particular  requirement we can work with you to effectively scope  plan & implement your needs. We respond to requests for tender.

Consortium/Consortia Repositories 

Open Repository welcomes consortium-based approaches to implementing an effective digital repository. Typically these may include purchasing of multiple repositories as branded or separate packages (with option to add additional institutions later), or a single repository with multiple institutions held at ‘Community Level’ within the repository. CUAL in Ireland, Five Colleges of Ohio & six members of Georgia Knowledge Repository are examples of Open Repository clients with a consortium-based approach.

“We have had a very interesting experience working with Open Repository to establish the Oxfam iLibrary, from working out a classification system for our very varied content through developing a remote deposit structure so people across our program offices can upload materials, to integrating with a separate website. We now have a digital library where we can capture our experience and share our knowledge easily and quickly. Our repository, the Oxfam iLibrary, will have an immediate impact on our own ways of working internally and, with our new information website now live, will make our content available to external audiences across the world.”
Robert Cornford, Communications Manager, Oxfam GB
