This has led to increased submissions, though mostly of CVs that the library turns into citation records. Departments seem to like to use feeds of their faculty's citations for recruitment which induces administrators to prod faculty into updating the library's repository. NC State's SRP contains about 43k citations. About 10% of those have full-text associated with them. It would have been a very limiting approach to only collect citations with full-text. Jim
