http://chronicle.com/free/v48/i43/43a02901.htm 'Superarchives' Could Hold All Scholarly Output JEFFREY R. YOUNG Professors' office computers hold a wealth of original content: research articles, data sets, field notes, images, and the like. Some of the material will be published in journals months or years after it is created, but even then it will probably be available only to the journals' subscribers. The rest will never see the light of day. Several colleges are now looking to share more of that work by building "institutional repositories" online and inviting their professors to upload copies of their research papers, data sets, and other work. The idea is to gather as much of the intellectual output of an institution as possible in an easy-to-search online collection. One college has called its proposed repository a "super digital archive."
