A brief description of the open access policy, including the date adopted and repository(ies) used:
Bunch Library does not currently have a formally adopted open access policy. However, the library is in the early stages of developing what we hope will become a full-fledged institutional e-repository for student and faculty work. Bunch library is currently partnering with the School of Nursing to house the DPN Scholarly Projects in an e-repository using a hosted digital collection management software solution by OCLC called ContentDM. We hope to have the first collection of DPN Scholarly Projects available online by the end of the Spring 2015 semester. The second project Bunch Library is seeking to pilot is an Electronic Thesis and Dissertation program where digitally-born theses could be housed in our e-repository for access by scholars everywhere. Bunch Library is in the process of putting together a Digitization Committee (which will include members from both the Bunch and Law Libraries) in order to address project workflows, content, metadata, and policies. This committee will be able to address the development of an open access policy to scholarly work produced by students and faculty that may be housed in the library's e-repository.
