Quotes about institutional repositories

Dorothea at Caveat Lector pointed out an article I never would have read otherwise in “OCLC Systems & Services” 23:2 by Paul Royster, who works at UNL right down the hall from me. The article contains the following quote, which I love: “It has been found that teen-age undergraduates can quickly become capable of performing these tasks that many tenured faculty found too daunting.” Another somewhat depressing quote: “Librarians are no more interested in IRs than the faculty at large. Although the UNL Libraries faculty has been exposed to multiple presentations and appeals, their rate of participation (about 10 percent) is roughly the same as the faculty at large.”
