Thanks Jessica. Yes, the repository will be fully searchable on google scholar. The students and the faculty have the rights to their works not the university. I’m also amazed that some universities use YouTube’s disclaimer in their rights statements for their repositories. But I think they believe if YouTube can do it, they can do it too. Don’t worry, I’m confused too!

Second will this "repository" be fully searchable on say google so that one could type in subject or name and the material would just be accessible? I ask because that of course is how youtube works and if the item would not show up in a simple search on www than how would the person who created know it was there in order to object? I really do not think you want to upset people connected to the school but digitizing and presumably making their material available without asking. However is their some agreement by students and faculty that the school somehow owns their works or is free to make them available?

It will include faculty and students' scholarly works, theses, dissertations, archive, etc. Eventually it will include AV materials about the university. does anyone have experience with this project? How do you deal with copyright issues? I've noticed some universities are modeling their copyright statement based on YouTube's saying that we digitize and post all materials and if someone has the rights to a work posted and does not want the work be accessible freely by all can contact us and we will remove it from the repository. Is this a legally sound practice?
