Speaker
Mr
Tom Cochrane
(Queensland Univ. of Tech.)
Summary
The Queensland University of Technology in Australia has had a whole-of-institution mandate for the deposit of its research outputs, particularly the refereed research literature, in place since late 2003. This presentation traces this development from the initial debates in committee, through the establishment and growth of the institutional repository under the mandate, to the present day embedding of depositing practices in the every day activities of researchers. This includes its increasing embrace in sometimes surprising ways by the academic community, without reference to the repository managers.
