Self-Archiving Strategies The most common ways for self-archiving Strategies are: • authors' personal Websites, • disciplinary archives, • institutional repositories
Requirements for Setting up IR • IR software – Dspace, eprint, Fedora run on web server • Hence the need for infrastructures to deploy a webserver
What Can we do • Collaborate with IT personal to deploy institutional repositories. • Help researchers archive their research papers – both new and old in an open repository. •
