DRS Policy Review - 2017-2019

Harvard Library's Digital Repository Service (DRS) is governed by a set of policies that were put in place several years ago. Periodically these policies are reviewed and revised if needed. The latest review began in March 2017.

The review process began within a small group co-chaired by Franziska Frey and Suzanne Wones. Other participants included Daniel Boomhower, Kate Donovan, Andrea Goethals, Laura Linard, Rebecca Martin, and Stephen Abrams.
