In May 2008, Harvard law faculty unanimously voted for an open access mandate; in November, the "Durham Statement on Open Access to Legal Scholarship" called for all law schools to stop publishing their journals in print format and to rely instead on stable, open, electronic publication.

 

In 2008 and 2009, top law schools, including those at Yale, Georgetown, Cornell, and Boston College, implemented law-specific institutional repositories (IRs).

As law schools begin this push toward increased access to scholarship, how will your law school maintain and expand its own visibility on the web? 

 

Please join Carol Watson and James Donovan from the University of Georgia, and Pamela Bluh from the University of Maryland as they present:

“Institutional Repositories: Essential Infrastructure for Scholarship in the Digital Age”

Watson, Donovan and Bluh implemented two of the most successful law school IRs. Hear them discuss essential components, considerations, and strategies for creating and developing an institutional repository at the law school. Learn how they have successfully been capturing and showcasing the scholarly content of their institution for several years.
