University of Melbourne eprints

The University of Melbourne ePrints Repository is an institutional server designed to load and provide free access to the research output of University of Melbourne academic staff.

The repository is part of a GO8 initiative here in Australia

The initiative aims to: -

* create an archive of the publications produced at individual institutions.
* enhance access and contribution to internationally linked scholarship
* increase awareness of and improve accessibility to Australian research and
* improve economics in scholarly communications

This GO8 initiative is part of a scheme to ensure that research output will be visible, accessible and usable through a global network of interlinked services. The initiative has established international standards for doing this and free software is now available for setting up institutional repositories which will be searchable by "scholarly" search engines such as Arc, my.Oai and OAIster

PH.D and Masters Research Theses in this repository (UMER) are also available in the Australian Digital Theses Program (ADT)
