Policy for Creating DRUM Communities

• Any current UM faculty member can request the creation of a new community.
• Proposals for new communities will be reviewed by the UM Libraries in conjunction with other stakeholders as appropriate.
• New communities will be managed by the requestor although the Libraries reserve the right to impose added review by the Libraries to assist in repository management.
• New communities must meet needs beyond those served by existing communities.
• Submission to all communities and their collections must be limited to works or collections authored by University of Maryland affiliates.
• Submitters to all collections must have the ability to assign needed rights to the University of Maryland.
• All works in collections must be substantive works of scholarship.
• All submissions must be complete - able to stand alone as a work or collection.
• All collections will be distributed freely across the web (access will not be limited by location).
