1. What is MINDS@UW?
MINDS@UW is designed to store, index, distribute, and preserve the
digital materials of the University of Wisconsin. Content, which is
deposited directly by UW faculty and staff, may include research papers,
pre-prints, datasets, photographs, videos, theses, conference papers, or
other intellectual property in digital form. The content is then distributed
through a searchable Web interface. MINDS@UW uses DSpace software
for more information about DSpace, please visit: http://www.dspace.org/.

most UW campuses have a MINDS@UW liaison:

Ownership, Copyright, and Permissions
1. Who can deposit content into MINDS@UW?
Any person or group within the UW System can submit content. Content
created cooperatively with co-authors who are not affiliated with the UW
are also accepted, as long as at least one of the authors is affiliated with
the UW and the submitter owns sufficient rights to the material.
2. Can I deposit content that I created before I joined the UW? What
happens to my content in MINDS@UW if I leave the UW?
You may submit content you created before you joined the UW as long as
you hold sufficient rights to the item. MINDS@UW does not remove
content once submitted if you leave, your content will still be preserved.
You may add it to another repository or site, if you like, without needing to
consult MINDS@UW.
3. Can I put already-published work in MINDS@UW?
Maybe. Digitized works whose published originals have passed into the
public domain can certainly be included.
Otherwise, assuming that you originally created the work, but you signed
some sort of copyright-transfer agreement with your publisher:
