Engineering: the changing information landscape
An article, 'Engineering: the changing information landscape' by PerX Project Manager, Roddy MacLeod, appeared in issue 158 of the 'Freepint Newsletter'.
http://www.freepint.com/issues/190106.htm#tips
It looks at the changes in engineering information and mentions talks about PerX and the Digital Repositories Programme. A reference to the PerX-produced 'Listing of Engineering Repository Sources' (http://www.icbl.hw.ac.uk/perx/sourceslisting.htm), "a goldmine of repositories", is also provided.

Rights and Rewards in Blended Institutional Repositories - Academic Survey released
One of the aims of this project is to addresses the motivational issues facing depositors of material to repositories. What 'Rights' need to be protected and what 'Rewards' would encourage contribution. A survey has been undertaken to gather views on these two issues, the results are now available on the project website in the Documents section.

Although the project will look at both teaching and research outputs (hence the term 'Blended') the survey focused attention on the contribution of materials relating to teaching.
