Queen Mary Research Online - live at last

I am very pleased to announce that Queen Mary Research Online (QMRO), the open access institutional repository of research outputs, is now fully live and publicly accessible.  

This first public release is the initial fully working version and will require further development; but all the basic functionality (search, browse; by date, author, title) should be there.  We'll also be developing a strategy for ways to reuse the deposited content in our research publications systems (providing links to content with bundled bibliographic data to departments for example) and trying to tie these in more closely with broader research information around the College.  Watch this space.

For anyone not aware of the survey currently running on use of the repository and PubLists; we are asking for feedback on methods of deposit to QMRO from members of academic and research staff, and research administrators/managers.  If you haven't completed the survey yet, please do, we would really like to hear your views:
