DESCRIPTION

Presented at the RSP workshop at Sheffield Cathedral, 2010, "Beyond SNEEP: Ideas for Creative Repository Management" is an expanded and updated version of a presentation given to the SHERPA-LEAP consortium of University of London repository managers in 2009. The presentation gives examples of a range of user-oriented tools and techniques available to repository managers to enhance the user experience of the repository interface. Approaches we will look at include: using dynamic news feeds from repositories to integrate with other web applications; adding personalisation features such as profile pages, commenting and tagging; using statistics packages; exploting embedded semantic metadata; enhancing abstract pages; and using a newly-developed text-mining plugin.
