The SUETr programme will develop and deliver a series of comprehensive targeted training workshops and seminars for SUE projects to address their shared concerns in a collaborative and practical context. The training provided by SUETr will help projects and repositories funded under the SUE strand to meet the overall aim of the funding strand – ‘to stimulate the population of existing repositories, enhance interoperability and embed repositories within institutional working practices such as research and learning as well as supporting the establishment of repositories where this will be sustained in to the future.’

SUETr is run by UKOLN with support from the Repositories Support Project (RSP).

Overview

The project will consult with the project staff in the SUE strand to develop a complete landscape picture of their training requirements. This will inform the subsequent development of the training programme. Training modules will be developed in collaboration with other JISC projects and external experts, to be delivered through a selection of appropriate delivery mechanisms.

The scope of the project is limited to addressing training requirements expressed by SUE projects. Training will be targeted primarily towards SUE staff, though applications from delegates from JISC-funded projects other than SUE projects will be considered should there be spare capacity.


Aims and objectives

Aims:

  • To equip staff in SUE projects with skills to contribute to successful completion of their projects
  • To assist SUE project staff in developing sustainable and successful repository services
  • To facilitate communication and knowledge sharing between SUE projects on issues of shared concern
  • To take a practical and hands on approach wherever possible

Objectives:

  • To consult with SUE staff in identifying training requirements
  • To liaise with other JISC projects to minimise duplication of effort
  • To develop a comprehensive training programme with a practical focus
  • To organise and deliver training events in varying locations
  • To reproduce materials for subsequent online consumption
  • To evaluate the success of the programme in meeting SUE projects training needs


Project methodology

SUETr will draw on input from SUE projects and a SUE project focus group to inform and guide development and delivery of the training programme. External experts, particularly from other JISC initiatives, will be involved in creation and delivery of training modules.

The project is run by UKOLN, with support from the Repositories Support Project (RSP), Aberystwyth University, and the Digital Curation Centre (DCC)


Anticipated outputs and outcomes

Tangible deliverables include:

  • Training Requirements Landscape report
  • Training programme
  • Training modules & content
  • Training opportunities (events, one-to-one meetings, seminars, online)

Intangible deliverables include:

  • Closer networks between SUE project staff
  • Greater collaboration between relevant JISC funded initiatives, particularly those that provide training (e.g. SUETr, RSP, RRT, DCC)
  • Increased knowledge of sustainability issues for SUE staff
  • Awareness of outstanding issues or further training requirements post March 2009 within SUETr and JISC

The main target outcome of this project is increased knowledge and ability of staff on SUE projects to address issues impacting repository sustainability and success. Knowledge and abilities developed as a result of participation in SUETr will subsequently be disseminated amongst other project and repository staff and become embedded in the repository infrastructure. This will lead to more sustainable and efficient repositories, with potential to expand the national and global networks of repositories and further facilitate opportunities for re-use of stored data.
