PALS (The Publisher and Library/Learning Solutions working group) has recently published a report (which I authored) on Institutional Repositories. The report is freely available from the PALS website at http:// <http://www.palsgroup.org.uk/> www.palsgroup.org.uk/ (follow the link for "Pathfinder research on web-based repositories").
PALS is running a conference based on this research in London on 24 June 2004 entitled "Institutional Repositories and Their Impact on Scholarly Publishing". Details of this are also available on the PALS website (follow the link for "PALS Conference 04 etc."). [About PALS: The Publisher and Library/Learning Solutions (PALS) working group is an ongoing collaboration between UK publishers (represented by the Association of Learned and Professional Society Publishers and the Publishers Association) and further and higher education (represented by JISC). The group aims to foster mutual understanding on topics of interest to both parties, and work collaboratively towards the solution of issues arising from electronic publication.
