Scholarly Communication

Submitting Content: Steps

The steps for submitting content to the institutional repository are fairly straightforward:

1. Get authorized to have your content contributed to the institutional repository
2. Work with the Scholarly Communication Services staff to determine in which collection your content belongs.
3. If submitting the content directly to the collection for which you are authorized, be sure to have your files and any information about them on your computer before you start the process of loading them up.
4. If you are having Scholarly Communication Services load your electronic files for you, please be sure to provide not only the files themselves but also a manifest as a text document with them that lists the filename(s) as well as whatever information you can provide about them. You must also include in either the manifest, in an email, or in a paper document non-exclusive permission for the Gelman Library System to publish the materials on the web. This means that you can also publish the same content in other venues at a later date but we retain the right to publish the content on the web as well.
