Thanks for a very useful list which I enjoy following. I now need to
get a sense from others. Our university Council recently passed an
open access mandate which inter alia requires theses and dissertations
for be deposited before graduation. Two of the faculties have
requested that the metadata be put up but there be a two year embargo
to allow time for publishing. What are the pros and cons of doing this
in others’ experiences? What reasons might one give in argument either
way?

Thanks in advance

Laura
