The paper then looks at the role of SHERPA (Securing a Hybrid Environment for Research Preservation and Access) as a major player in the creation of institutional open archive repositories in the UK. Issues of cost and Intellectual Property Rights are considered, as well as the drivers that may lead academics to deposit their research outputs in OAI-compliant archives. SHERPA Romeo, as a source of information on publishers' copyright policies, is identified and described. The paper ends by suggesting a roadmap for the future development of SHERPA repositories, including the new SHERPA DP digital preservation project for the long-term curation of materials deposited in e-repositories. date: 2004-10-30 date_type: published oa_status: green language: eng primo: open primo_central: open_green lyricists_name: Ayris, P lyricists_id: PAYRI08 full_text_status: public pres_type: presentation event_title: E-ICOLC 2004 event_location: Barcelona, Spain event_dates: 30 October 2004 event_type: conference refereed: FALSE citation: Ayris, P.; (2004) SHERPA.
