There are a variety of ways in which to get involved with EDINA services and projects. These sections describe some of the them; if you have other ideas not covered in those sections please contact us edina@ed.ac.uk.

Deposit Content

The following services openly invite members of the academic community to submit their content to different systems for access and reuse by others.

Jorum

Jorum is a learning materials repository which welcomes the submission of learning objects via the process outlined on the Jorum website. Access to the content is via the Jorum user service, available at nearly 400 colleges and universities. This provides a very popular platform for materials.

OpenDepot.org

OpenDepot.org is an eprints repository for researchers worldwide without access to an institutional repository to store their academic papers. Exposure of that content is widespread too, via a number of open sites including Intute: Repository Search.

Go-Geo!

The Go-Geo! gateway offers several ways for users to contribute. First, you can supply information about geospatial datasets via GeoDoc, our metadata creator tool; you can also submit details of a resource to appear in the Resources section of the Go-Geo! website; and finally you can make your data available for others to reuse via the GRADE repository.

ShareGeo

ShareGeo, accessible from the Digimap Collections main page, allows registered users to contribute their own (derived or user-generated) geospatial datasets, or to download datasets which are already there for research, teaching or personal use.
