IRIOS-2 Service Launches
The final IRIOS-2 service is now live at https://irios2.unis4ne-system.net. A comprehensive user guide can be downloaded via a link on the login screen.
The system currently includes grants from NERC and EPSRC, where the universities of Sunderland, Glasgow, St Andrews (IRIOS-2 partners), Durham, Newcastle, Northumbria and Teesside (members of Universities for the North East) are either the grant holder or grant partner.
A guest account is available which gives read-only access to all grants:
Username = GUEST
Password = guest
With this account, you are able to filter/browse grants and export to CERIF.
If you are a member of staff at any of the above institutes, individual accounts can be created which will give you access to more system functionality (e.g. import outputs, record Open Access information and link outputs to grants). Please email such requests to irios@unis4ne-system.net
Please also direct comments/questions/feedback to the above email address.
Workshop spaces available- book today!
There are still places available for the IRIOS-2 Final Workshop to be held on Thursday 18th October in Newcastle.
This is a great opportunity to learn more about the JISC funded IRIOS-2 project,view a demonstration of the system in action and network with colleagues who have been using CERIF.

IRIOS-2 project meeting at the University of Glasgow
The IRIOS-2 project held its first quarterly project meeting (after the kick-off) at the University of Glasgow on 29th February 2012. The meeting was a joint consortium meeting with the C4D project. We posed on the steps outside at lunchtime for a group photo.

Impact and Research Methodology
A post regarding impact and research methodology that may be of interest – see our Engage project blog: http://researchclusters.wordpress.com/2012/03/06/some-interesting-points-from-our-team-discussion-today/
In particular I am interested to hear from IRIOS2 colleagues if research methodology ‘classification’ might be available with data supplied by RCUK, and from the research organisations as to whether this would be of use to them. Not necessarily for the current project – just in general.
IRIOS-2 at the RIM3 Programme Meeting, Edinburgh
The two projects IRIOS-2 and CiA provided progress updates at the JISC hosted RIM3 Programme meeting. See below for a link to the IRIOS-2 presentation given by Simon Kerridge and Kevin Ginty. There were also presentations from RMAS, OSSWatch and JISC InfoKit.
Overall, the event was excellent and the projects have agreed a number of joint initiatives, including working with RMAS and potentially CASRAI.
Keep following the blog for updates on the projects progress.

Repositories Support Project – Embedding Guide and Toolkit
The Repositories Support Project Embedding Guide and Toolkit has been published by the Repositories Support Project and will help institutions to get the best value from their institutional repositories through integration with other university systems, particularly research management systems.
It is aimed at repository staff but will be of interest to other groups such as academic librarians and research management staff.
Over the past few years, there have been a number of JISC funded projects and other institutional initiatives which have focused on the embedding of research repositories into organisational systems, policies and workflows. The results have been documented in websites, blogs, conference presentations etc but they have not been synthesised into a coherent whole. This guide aims to do just that.
