Hi Sheila
We're currently formulating our mandatory electronic theses submission
policy for Brunel University.
The question of non-electronic submission came up. Our preliminary
solution is to accept images, videos and music (they are available file
formats in DSpace 1.4.1). When it comes to art pieces for example
sculptures and paintings we are offering to photograph the piece or
pieces (no pun intended) and upload the files and metadata like any
normal thesis.
Hope this helps, would be interesting to see what other peeps are doing.
Best
John Murtagh

Subject: illustrative/art materials in repositories
I would be interested in hearing from people who currently have
illustrative material of an art nature (Performance art video material,
photographs of pieces of art, sculptures etc) in their repository and
how they have dealt with this material. What forms of material do you
accept e.g. jpeg, videoclips etc? Do staff do the photography
themselves and is there any problem with quality when the material is
loaded? What about copyright problems when the material includes
artworks done by persons other than the institutions own lecturer(s)?
Do you try to get just an excerpt or refuse to accept it unless the
lecturer can get permission from all other people with material featured
on the dvd/video clip/cd? What other problems have you come across and
how have you tackled them or oversome them? We are just starting out
and would appreciate any help or advice that can be offered by anyone
with experience in this field.
Thanks
Sheila
