The UKOLN Research Team Song

Title: Repository Rhapsody?

We've chosen from Fedora, ePrints, DSpace, Greenstone, BEP,

the software that provokes from IT bods the least hostility,

and gives our institution quite astounding flexibility

delivering to academic staff the most utility.

It keeps your papers citeable and easily available

along with many others cos the architecture's scalable.

You might get into trouble if you give away your copyright

but not if you use preprints and then link them to the journal's site.

It helps with RAE returns and web site publication lists,

and maybe one day it will help the data preservationists.

With metadata harvesting and interoperability

it is the model of an institutional repository.
