The site can not be reached on Februrary 17 at 09:41:21 NOVT 2008. http://qut.edu.au can be, but I don't find such a statement there. > University of Queensland, Australia, since beginning of 2008.

I happen to know a bit about the Queensland Institute of Technology, situation, I hold a QUT staff card and know the repository manager there. But I don't think that it is worth discussing the situation in one particular institution here. I am not saying that IRs are not a potentially good development and I am not saying that they will never work. But I hope that we can agree that, from today's perspective, filling IRs until we achieve 100% open access will be a very very long process.
