Title: Collecting for Institutional Repositories: All the news 
that's fit to keep

Time: Sunday, June 24, 2007, 10:30-Noon

Location: Renaissance, Ballroom East

Description:

So you have an institutional repository (IR)? Chances are your 
administration is excited; the publicity, marketing and 
development opportunities are apparent. But what should be 
deposited in an IR? Who should be soliciting and submitting 
items? How will you address issues of copyright? At this panel 
presentation discussion, you will hear from colleagues who have 
successfully tackled these issues as they develop and evolve 
their collection policies and procedures for IR management.
