Deposits to DSpace at MIT

Works that contribute to the library research literature are welcome in DSpace at MIT. MIT Libraries staff are invited to deposit from their own work:

• articles published in scholarly newsletters or journals
• fully developed conference papers (not Power Point slides)
• technical reports, working papers, and other unpublished gray literature of a scholarly nature
• supplementary material cited in or linked to published articles or papers and deposited with the article or paper

To make your first submission:

1. check that your submission meets the Content Guidelines for DSpace at MIT
   • Mary Cabral (mcabral@mit.edu), in consultation with the respective Associate Directors, will ensure that all submissions meet these guidelines.
2. contact the DSpace Systems Manager (mdiggory@mit.edu) to request authorization.
3. After you are authorized, go to DSpace@MIT to begin the submission process at any time

Subsequent submissions:

1. After your first authorization you will be pre-authorized for any subsequent submissions. (Please check the guidelines!)

DSpace is an appropriate home for these works, assuring their persistence over time and broad access by the scholarly community.

StaffWeb placements

Many other documents authored by Libraries staff describe the policies, practices, and deliberations related to our on-going work in the Libraries.

These are not generally research output; instead they are administrative records or "works for hire." However, they are often useful to colleagues at MIT and in other institutions. We encourage you to mount these, as well as your Power Point presentations, on the Libraries' staff web.

• Power Point presentations can be mounted in the folder Presentations by and for MIT Libraries Staff. Ask Marion Carroll (mlcar@mit.edu) for assistance.

• The Public Services web site contains room for links to

• Committee Information Archives
• Divisional Libraries information
• Project Archive
• Public Services Policies and Procedures

and other material. Contact ICF (icf-lib@mit.edu) for assistance.

• The Collection Services page contains links to sectional home pages and other useful tools. The page is currently maintained by

• Laura Lucero (lucero@mit.edu) 3-7378
• Gordon Thomas (gathomas@mit.edu) 3-0695

who are eager to receive your input. Contact them through their web form.
