Description

For its RAE return, or other accountability reasons, a department wants to be able to easily browse a list of eprints submitted by authors affiliated with that department. To do this, it would ideally use a service that could aggregate this information from many sources. This list should contain both eprints deposited in the department's own repository and those deposited in other repositories. Deposit in other repositories might happen because an author has decided to use a subject repository, or because the eprint was deposited by another of the co-authors into their departmental repository. If an author moves department, eprints created whilst in the employ of a particular department should maintain information identifying that department, rather than the department to which an author has moved.
