His question to us could we give him a 10-word summary of the benefits the Repository would bring to an average overworked academic. For the research side it is fairly cut and dried. Research assessment is in future ...

As identified in the report on eCat’s use of metadata there are three potential sources of metadata. The Learning objects (LOs) content and supporting documentation.

Streamline aims revolve around tools that can be integrated into staff workflows with the minimum of disruption. The tools themselves should, in some way, make a computer based job easier.
