set up access, membership, and other parameters. Each collection will have one or more people who
will help define specific procedures and guidelines. The Collection Curator should be a faculty or staff
member from the department or research unit. For more information about collection responsibilities,
see the Collections Policy. To get started, please contact Colleen Lyon at utdr-
general@utlists.utexas.edu.
20. Can my department archive conference proceedings in the UT Digital Repository?

collection or a series of collections in the Conference Proceedings community in the UTDR. To get
started, please contact Colleen Lyon at utdr-general@utlists.utexas.edu.
