IR
How have we done this in the face of Faculty Apathy ?
Despite the proliferation of
IRs
, most faculty are not motivated to self-archive or deposit their works.Slide15

Dear Dean Giesecke;I feel compelled to write and thank you for your support of UN-L's Digital Commons program, and especially for Paul Royster's enormous help and encouragement of me to participate in it. Because of his interest and willingness to undertake some large projects, I have been able to make freely available on-line
five book-length manuscripts
that would never otherwise have been published in my lifetime, have
updated two previously published books
, and have also made available
four of my out-of-print books
and over 30 of my published papers and articles that originally often had very limited circulation. I also have been stimulated to undertake or complete some additional writing projects that I never would otherwise have finished, since I would have felt the resulting manuscripts to be unpublishable for financial or other reasons.
All told, the Digital Commons has allowed me to make unusually effective use of my time since my retirement, and believe that I can still make my contributions matter and my influence felt at a national and international level
. I am extremely grateful.
Sincerely
Paul Johnsgard
Foundation Professor of Biological Sciences Emeritus
