<DIV style="COLOR: #000000">As we plan for our implementation of an Institutional Repositories, I need <BR>to develop a policy that outlines a number of issues, such as retention of <BR>the documents, what can be submitted, whether or not a document is open to <BR>a single unit, the entire campus, the entire Internet, etc. We plan to <BR>start with theses and dissertations and expand from there.<BR><BR>I suspect some libraries have already developed these policies. If you <BR>have, would you please either send me a copy or point me to the links on <BR>your web pages.<BR><BR>I appreciate it very much.<BR><BR>Thank you.<BR><BR>Scott P Muir<BR>Associate University Librarian<BR>Bruce T.
