This is a checklist that you can use to establish whether or not you can set up a community within the Sydney eScholarship. If at any point in the process you are uncertain please contact the Digital Repository Coordinator. |
Note:
What constitutes a community?
A "Community" is an organizational or administrative unit of the University that has long-term stability and can assume responsibility for setting Community policies. A community must have a research, teaching or reference focus, and could be a faculty, school, department or research centre. A community can define their sub-communities.
How are communities administered ?
Each community must be able to assign a coordinator who can work with Sydney eScholarship staff. Administration of the community is consistent with the responsibilities of the community and the library.

Does the material meet the following criteria?
- Produced, contributed, sponsored by or associated with a University of Sydney faculty, department, school or centre.
- Scholarly or research oriented
- The author/owner should be willing and able to grant Sydney eScholarship the right to preserve and distribute the work via the institutional repository.
- If a work is part of a larger series or set of related works, these other works should also be contributed so that as full a set as possible is offered.
|
If you answered yes to all of the above then we can begin to establish a community. Please complete as much information as possible in the form below. If the answer was no to one or more, please contact the Digital Repository Coordinator ses@library.usyd.edu.au
There are certain roles and responsibilites that come with maintaining a communinty within the Sydney eScholarship. Please read through them.

Note:
- The material being deposited must not include any commercial third party content
- The community should primarily consist of academic and postgraduate research material, with the exception of honors theses or exceptions made by the department
- Not include any administrative records
- The work should be complete and ready for viewing at the time of submission.
- The work must be contributed in digital form and preferably be referred formats especially those supported by the repository platform (see DRC if problematic)
