Subject: CADAIR's 2000
Along with the recent announcement from Stirling and STORRE (many
congratulations to you), I too would like to blow the proverbial trumpet for
Aberystwyth University?s online repository CADAIR
(
http://cadair.aber.ac.uk/dspace/)
As of 21st May 2009, we now have over 2,000 deposits - 69 of which are
theses, the majority of items being journal articles. The remainder is made
up
of book chapters and conference proceedings.
We are in the process of depositing a large number of images for our Theatre
Film and Tv Studies department, an interesting partnership and variation for
us
with regard to the type of deposit usually handled.
At present, Aberystwyth does not have a mandate for its academics and the
dissemination of full text theses and dissertations is still optional.
Therefore,
with continual raising of awareness and encouraging academic staff and PG
students to deposit, the message is getting through and being positively
taken
on board by many.
Regards
Nicky Cashman
