Selected Comments from Respondents
Have an IR
“Five percent of one librarian is dedicated to the repository.”
“Head of Archives involved in IR planning but limited involvement in ETD and LOR pilot projects.”

staffing for development work, networking, and security and maintains of server, etc.”
“Regular environmental scans of IR use and adoption in higher education promotes use of IR at university
administration level.”

The 5% reflects the amount of time devoted on average in normal times.”
“We are in the planning stages of implementing this aspect of the program. The Total FTE figure above is just
an estimate at this time.”

“Expect only some staff will be involved in IR.”
“We have only one librarian actually working on metadata.”
