Charge of the Original Institutional Repository Group:
Gather background information on emerging institutional repositories; survey campus for potential pilot project; move forward on any opportunity for implementation. Develop a plan for implementation during 2004 and a long-term budget model.
Expected Results: The campus and library will have a greater awareness of the concepts/benefits/costs of institutional repositories. Library personnel will gain experience with at least one of the alternative software options.
