Setting up an institutional e-print archive Stephen Pinfield, Mike Gardner and John MacColl outline some of the practical issues involved in setting up an OAI-compliant e-print archive in a Higher Education Institute "This article outlines some of the main stages in setting up an institutional e-print archive. It is based on experiences at the universities of Edinburgh and Nottingham which have both recently developed pilot e-print servers (1). It is not the intention here to present arguments in favour of open access e-print archives -- this has been done elsewhere (2). Rather, it is hoped to present give an account of some of the practical issues that arise in the early stages of establishing an archive in a higher education institution." http://www.ariadne.ac.uk/issue31/eprint-archives/ Stephen Pinfield Academic Services Librarian Library Services Hallward Library University Park University of Nottingham Nottingham, NG7 2RD, UK Phone +44 (0) 115 951 5109 Fax +44 (0) 115 951 4558 Email stephen.pinfi...@nottingham.ac.uk Web http://www.nottingham.ac.uk/library/staff/pinfield.html
