    • Stephen Marks: OA journal archiving project
    • Based on a general lack of enthusiasm, we did not pursue this at this time. That said, OCUL-IR has recognized that OA materials in Scholars Portal are something that needs to be addressed and is looking at a way to do so. We will continue to monitor the discussion and provide advice/guidance where necessary.
