I am afraid I did not explain sufficiently explicitly: U. Southampton has a
number of other IRs (at least 13) besides the ECS Department's IR.

The biggest of them is the university-wide IR, ePrints Soton:
http://eprints.soton.ac.uk/
However, as explained in my prior reply, whereas the departmental mandate
of the School of Electronics and Computer Science (ECS) was officially
adopted in January 2003, the university-wide mandate, though already
officially approved some time ago, is still (for reasons unknown to
me!) awaiting official adoption. In the meanwhile, the university as a
whole has no self-archiving mandate yet, so whatever deposits you find
in ePrints Soton will be the usual spontaneous (unmandated) ones (for
which the worldwide baseline deposit rate is about 15%), probably
increased in this case beyond that baseline also by library mediation
and encouragement
http://www.ecs.soton.ac.uk/research/projects/tardis
(which Arthur Sale's analyses show to produce a better deposit rate,
but nothing anywhere near Alma Swan's predicted 80-90% for mandated
deposit).

The deposit of only a subset of a researcher's total publications reflects
the fact that depositing current and future papers requires far fewer
keystrokes and effort than depositing one's full prior opus (which may
even require scanning and OCR) -- though eventually that should be
deposited too!).

(CalTech, by the way, has at least 25 IRs!

)
I hope this dispels any further ambiguity!
