We are now storing digital copies of all such reports on the server and hyperlinking them to the SMR so they can be accessed by anyone looking at the database. We still hold to the principle that the SMR is a public record, developed at public expense and available for people to consult in person free of charge during office hours. What we do charge for is staff time, print-outs and photocopies supplied. I hope eventually to make 'grey literature' available via our web site. This already includes interim reports and project designs for our field school at Easter Raitts. I hope this is of some interest...!

We already charge commercial oganisations for access to SMR information (printouts and plots from the GIS) but we are trying to expand the revenue raised by the SMR by looking at the various other sources of information that people may be interested in. At the same time we are tightening procedures so, before we impliment new or increased charges for other datasets we would be very grateful to hear of any issues that other SMRs have come across.
