Institutional Repository

Purpose

Why an institutional repository

• Preservation: Long-term digital preservation of the College's intellectual output
• Visibility: Greater visibility for the work of our faculty and students
• Access: Easy access for current students, alumni and the wider scholarly community
• Research support: A ready reference base for ongoing research within the College
• Heritage: An evolving record of the College's academic life across years and generations

Submitting Work

Faculty members and postgraduate students are warmly invited to deposit their published research, conference papers, dissertations and project reports in the Institutional Repository. Submissions should be in PDF or other standard formats and accompanied by a basic metadata sheet (author, title, date, abstract, keywords).

Submissions are reviewed by the Librarian for completeness and metadata, and are then catalogued and made accessible through the repository.

Access & Use

Most repository content is open for reading and download by registered library users. Some materials may be access-controlled in line with publisher agreements, embargo periods or supervisor preferences for unpublished work. Citation and copyright should be respected when reusing material from the repository.
