Who determines what may be deposited in Scholars Bank? Who sets the standards?
In their Guidelines for Scholars’ Bank Communities, the UO Libraries state:”The Scholars’ Bank is a repository for scholarly literature, communication, and research results for University of Oregon faculty, staff, and students. Materials submitted should be of a scholarly nature, and should be the intellectual property of the author.” Otherwise, it is the responsibility of a community to set standards for the material that authors may contribute. In setting up the infrastructure for a community, the Libraries will consult with community representatives about specific policies and access restrictions. It is up to a community’s liaison to communicate standards to individual authors.
