On collection name, I recommend that we try to standardize on "<department> Working Papers" or "<department> Papers" and not include the word "faculty".  In most departments, the community will want to accept submissions from people who may have somewhat ambiguous status, e.g. post docs or even advanced graduate students. 

 

We also want to try to avoid generic names like "Working Papers" since some dspace lists present the collection name without saying which community it's in.  If you try to submit to dspace you'll get a pulldown list of collections, and it's going to be very confusing if there are 42 different collections all named "Working Papers".

 

So, I propose that the PPPM community get an additional collection named something like

    PPPM Papers

    PPPM Working Papers

or somesuch.

 

In "Psychology Working Papers" you'll find at least 3 different kinds of things submitted by Jennifer Freyd:

    - reprints of published articles

    - true "working papers", usually prepared as tutorials and designed to be available on the web

    - a conference presentation, consisting of slides from the PPT presentation and some additional supporting materials.
