Open access initiative

Universities world-wide are providing open access to electronic copies of their research output so that their research will be widely and quickly disseminated over the Internet.  In line with such services the School is expanding its Faculty Research database to include e-prints (electronic copies of academic papers) and is encouraging faculty members to deposit copies of their papers.
