Success of the Welsh Repository Network Start-Up Bid.

The University of Wales Aberystwyth has been successful, on behalf of WHELF (Wales Higher Education Libraries Forum), in winning funding for a Repository Start-Up project under the JISC Repositories and Preservation Programme.

The project will support a centrally managed hardware procurement programme designed to provide every Higher Education Institution (HEI) in Wales with dedicated and configured repository hardware by the end of 2007 as a significant step towards the realisation of a Welsh Repository Network. In conjunction with the technical, organisational and operational support specifically provided for Welsh HEIs within the JISC funded Repositories Support Project, this initiative will provide a decisive boost to the repository agenda in Wales.
