- Repositories must become the first (and eventually only) way to get scientific literature: global search for all scientific literature from 1664 to today.<br></blockquote><div> <br></div><div>Yes. I have tried to get this idea across to the conventional repository community with little success. There should be only one (or at best a few) entry points. I have suggested a repository for all UK funded Open output including papers, theses and data. That in itself is technically too limiting but it can catch the political imagination.(Some countries such as NL (SURF) do this much better).<br>

It's also the time at which we should have seen innovative approaches to publishing. Now we have to break free of the quagmire of academic aspirations. <br>
