Leonie Hayes is the Research Repository Librarian from the University of Auckland New Zealand, Teula Morgan is the Manager of Online Services & Projects at Swinburne University library in Victoria, and Tom Ruthven is Digital Library Innovation and Development Manager at the University of New South Wales Library, Sydney. Together they have gathered a collection of Research Repository Case Studies from Repository managers in Australia, New Zealand and South Africa.

Leonie, Teula and Tom are grateful to the contributors for their time and energy in compiling a case study.
Abstract
A Research Repository Managers Symposium invites managers to submit a “Case Study” outlining the way that their institution has decided to deliver the requirements for research reporting and assessment exercises like ERA – Excellence in Research for Australia and PBRF Performance-Based Research Fund in New Zealand. We also invite managers to raise issues around measurement and evaluation using, for example metrics and peer evaluation.
The symposium session asks authors of the case studies to briefly share a summary of their case study, which is then followed by a guided discussion session determined by participants. The Case Studies will be compiled into a comprehensive document for public distribution via the Educause Australasia 2009 Conference site. This will be the first widespread gathering of Research Repositories Case Studies in the region.
