Faculty, students, and staff are encouraged to self-archive their published and unpublished works by placing them in the repository for increased visibility and long-term preservation. The library can assist authors and creators by:
- Consulting with you on how to check the copyright permissions associated with your published work;
- Uploading your work into the repository and providing metadata (descriptive information);
- Verifying and including the citation/publication details of your work within its metadata;
- Abiding by and managing any embargos associated with your publication or work;
- Determining the policies of publishers with regard to their copyright agreements with authors.
