[Dspace-general] Controlled Vocabulary by Library

Thu May 13 09:58:27 EDT 2004

We're a long way from this being an issue for us. We're
doing all of the submission work, including creating the
metadata. This is all being done for free in our attempt to
generate a critical mass of content for the archive. We
wouldn't consider charging a fee until we had people
clamoring to get their materials in the archive. Perhaps
not even then, as one of the roles of my department
is advising members of the UO community on appropriate
metadata schemas or subject thesauri.
