| Abstract |
Universities produce varying amounts of research each year. Yet finding much of that vast output can be problematical. Research findings are scattered across scores of different disciplines, in a range of different scholarly publications or collections of conference papers. Access to such material may be allowed to subscribers only. This limits the availability of research and thus limits its usefulness. If people cannot see results, they cannot build on them. This is one of the problems that e-print archives developed to solve. The aim of an open archive is to make research freely available, in full text, for anyone to use. Some higher education institutions, both abroad and now here in Australia, are beginning to see the value of such archives as a way of showcasing their research in a single, central, searchable space.
