Mandated Deposit for Open Access Repository: Experience at US University

Connotea Imports 2012-07-31

Summary:

Abstract: ‘Oregon State’s Institutional repository, used for archiving and preserving documents generated by OSU’s faculty, is acclaimed because of the number of archived documents it holds for a school of its size.This repository is now joined by an “Open Access,” or OA repository, which will house the works of faculty publishers. First and foremost, however, is the fact that the OSU library faculty agreed to a mandate within their department to have their faculty deposit their works to the repository. This is because often times just publishing an article to a personal website will not allow that article to be widely seen or disseminated into the research community with which it might be concerned. Because of this, as well as some faculty members’ strong feelings that in order for any other department or college’s faculty to make literary deposits, the OSU Library’s faculty voted in March to mandate an Open Access repository for at least the library’s faculty itself.’
