The Lirolem/Virtual Studio is a means of digitally managing and preserving the output of students and staff at the University of Lincoln, irrespective of the format in which they are produced. Initially, the repository will concentrate on teaching and learning outputs within the School of Architecture, but it is intended that the repository will also manage research and teaching and learning outputs from all University departments. The repository will permit members of the University community to deposit, describe, search for, interact with and extract material that they deem valuable for use in their research, teaching and learning. This SUM describes the specific business processes involved in the operation of the repository and the services it provides.
