Contributions
Trinity College Library administers the Repository, and will work with faculty, students, and departments across campus on the process of identifying and submitting material.
From Faculty
Trinity Faculty scholarship that is published under Open Access terms, or equivalent, will be automatically added to the Repository by the Repository Administrator. Faculty are also encouraged to submit their non-Open Access work to the Repository, as long as it is a draft version permitted by the publisher’s copying and distribution policy, e.g. post-print, final manuscript, or pre-print version. The Sherpa/Romeo website may be used to find journal-specific policies on which drafts are eligible for upload to the Repository.
In general, the Repository will include only work published by faculty while at Trinity.
From Students
Student work that is featured as part of campus publication, e.g. The Trinity Papers, The First-Year Papers, Trinity Tripod, etc., and submitted to the Repository Administrator directly from a sponsoring academic department, will be automatically included in the Repository. Individual papers, such as theses or other capstone projects, are also encouraged as long as the work is sponsored by a faculty member. During the Repository upload process, students will be required to supply the name of the faculty member who granted permission for the work to be uploaded.
