I came across this report during the week originating from the
Association of Research Libraries in the USA:

The Research Library’s Role in Digital Repository Services
Final Report of the ARL Digital Repository Issues Task Force
(January 2009)
http://www.arl.org/bm~doc/repository-services-report.pdf
Early in 2008, the Association of Research Libraries (ARL) convened a
Digital Repository Issues Task Force to evaluate trends, contextualize
current activities among ARL member libraries and recommend leadership
roles and activities: this offers their conclusions, which I thought
may be useful to the list members.
