The focus of the KeepIt project is preservation of repositories of broad scope, and our aim is to make a difference. This is challenging, but we are not alone, and our work overlaps with many others in various ways, whether concerned with digital repositories or preservation; ideally repositories AND preservation. We have to be clever in rethinking, adapting and structuring our work to build on and use the findings of others in this area.<\/p>\n

The recent JISC Inf11 programme meeting<\/a> for new projects prompted me to elaborate four principles to guide our approach:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. We are concerned with the whole information lifecycle, not just the ‘preservation’ bit\n
  2. The institutional context matters as much as the repository context\n
  3. Given the breadth of scope we have to use all available resources and use external expertise in the JISC programme and elsewhere in the community wherever possible<\/ol>\n

    \"\"<\/a>
    To begin to fulfil the third point, here is a watchlist of relevant current projects from the     JISC Inf11 programme<\/a>:<\/p>\n
