A mandatory self-archiving policy for research output, and a mandatory policy for archiving theses are suggested for discussion and implementation over several years. A School of Computing prototype website temporarily codenamed UTasER can be viewed at http://eprints.comp.utas.edu.au/ and illustrates the type of information that an eprints website will hold. Present document contributions are mainly from the School of Computing, but trial documents have also been entered by the Library. An Eprints server will increase the research impact of UTas research output by 3-5%, and is considered an essential part of the research strategy being undertaken in the School of Computing.</mods:abstract><mods:classification authority="lcc">280100 Information Systems</mods:classification><mods:originInfo><mods:dateIssued encoding="iso8061">2004</mods:dateIssued></mods:originInfo><mods:originInfo><mods:publisher>Unpublished</mods:publisher></mods:originInfo><mods:genre>Report</mods:genre></mods:mods>
