From: Laura Czerniewicz <[log in to unmask]> Date: Tue, 30 Sep 2014 20:08:37 +0000 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 ________________________________ UNIVERSITY OF CAPE TOWN
