There are differences in approach within the library community. The
members of the Canadian Association of Research Libraries, for example,
are actively involved in setting up institutional repositories, and
encouraging faculty members to self-archive. This is a relatively
new initative; many of the repositories are either quite new or under
development. Therefore, there isn't that much content - yet - but this
will grow!
