Title: Collecting for Institutional Repositories: All the news that's fit to keep
Time: Sunday, June 24, 2007, 10:30-Noon
Location: Renaissance, Ballroom East
Description:
So you have an institutional repository (IR)? Chances are your administration is excited; the publicity, marketing and development opportunities are apparent. But what should be deposited in an IR? Who should be soliciting and submitting items? How will you address issues of copyright? At this panel presentation discussion, you will hear from colleagues who have successfully tackled these issues as they develop and evolve their collection policies and procedures for IR management.
