Abstract

This paper will report on the key findings and implications of the JISC-funded Online Catalogue and Repository Interoperability Study (OCRIS), a 3 month project which investigated the interoperability of Online Public Access Catalogues (OPACs) and Institutional Repositories (IRs) within UK Higher Education Institutions (HEIs). The aims and objectives of the project included: surveying the extent to which repository content is in scope for OPACs and the extent to which it is already recorded there; listing the various services to managers, researchers, teachers and learners offered by these systems; identifying the potential for improvements in the links from repositories and/or OPACs to other institutional services such as finance or research administration. The project combined quantitative and qualitative methods; primarily, an online questionnaire distributed to staff within 85 UK HEIs, purposive sampling and two in-depth case studies conducted at the Universities of Cambridge and Glasgow.
