Abstract

EPrints archives and similar archives promise many benefits
for academics and their institutions, but there are complications
in trying to solve too many problems at once. We describe
the potential uses for an institutional archive running
either the GNU EPrints software or software intended to
provide similar functionality and how those applications
may complement or interfere with each other. We then discusses
policy decisions which should be made when implementing
an archive and suggest a possible policy based on our own
experience at Southampton University where the Electronics
and Computer Science Department has been running an archive
and database of our publications since 1998 and has provided
software and assistance to many other institutions setting
up a variety of electronic archives.
