The Brandeis IR is a resource for the Brandeis community to showcase, promote, and preserve research and scholarship.
Content accepted for inclusion in the BIR must be:
The Library Advisory Committee will address any questions about appropriateness of content for the institutional repository in keeping with University policies. In evaluating specific materials for inclusion in the BIR, consideration is given to their purpose, preservation, audience, rights and permissions.
The content of the Brandeis Institutional Repository is organized in "communities" that reflect the academic and administrative structure of Brandeis University. For example, the community for the School of Arts and Sciences has "sub-communities" for each department and program. Within the communities or sub-communities, "collections" of works can be organized by research group, individual faculty member, content type or other logical groupings that meet the community's need.
Brandeis University faculty, staff, and sponsored research affiliates are invited to consider placing their research in the Institutional Repository. We also encourage communities within the repository to identify a collection administrator who can help to define policies and carry out practices relevant to that community.
