Clarify role/expectations the Graduate College

Discuss timeline

A late Sept./Early Oct. implementation would allow the Graduate College sufficient time to adequately manage staffing needs and to widely promote this change with graduate students, faculty & staff.

Next steps:

• Graduate College to submit a site setup request via this form: https://www.etdadmin.com/main/sitesetup . That would require the list of OU graduate degrees and departments, and setup of the sandbox takes 1-2 weeks.

Student-facing guidance

In our documentation and communication to students, we provide information on the submission process. Since ProQuest submissions will migrate into SHAREOK what guidance/language does the library recommend we provide to students about their document being published in both ProQuest and the institutional repository, SHAREOK?

Questions about embargoes

Graduate College still has a number of questions about the embargo process and extensions for active embargos, given that the final documents will appear in both ProQuest and SHAREOK.
