Project Ideas
Campus Publications and Events
A repository can provide a way to archive and preserve campus publications, providing increased opportunities for people wishing to research institutional history. Department newsletters, working papers, journals, lectures, alumni association magazines, and student publications can all be archived in a repository.
When you are planning your repository, it is important to try to recruit a variety of content. Adding campus publications can ensure that you have a steady workflow for your staff, especially if you might be waiting to hear back from publishers for permission to post previously published journal articles.
