[Dspace-general] Communities defined

[Gherman, Paul M]

Dear DSpace Folks,

We have a very active faculty policy board at work defining our IR 
policies. We discussing how to define communities within DSpace. 
MIT states that they follow administrative units of the university. 
Our group seems to lean toward allowing liberal interpretation, 
that any group of faculty with a common research or teaching 
interest can establish a community. Added to this idea, they favor 
allowing faculty at other institutions with a common interest to 
join the community.

Have you faced this issue on your campus, and how did you resolve 
it.

Thanks for your help,

Paul
