Can anyone recommend any helpful resources for someone just getting started working in an institutional repository?

I'm particularly looking for resources on things like evaluating technology/systems, managing projects, and communicating with stakeholders and the public.

Thanks for any suggestions!

Hello-

I came across a wonderful resource that I’d like to share: http://www.jiscinfonet.ac.uk/infokits. JISC InfoNet provides a variety of free, downloadable toolkits that promote IT and eLearning strategic planning and management. JISC also provides a number of publications related to best practices and innovation. A lot of what they offer is relevant to libraries and information environments, and I found the Digital Repositories infoKit to be particularly helpful: http://www.jiscinfonet.ac.uk/infokits/repositories
Best,
