Depositing Biology Student Posters into an Institutional Repository

“Can I archive the poster presentations from my undergrad class?” In answer to this query from a Biology professor, Baylor University created a workflow to upload group projects into Baylor’s institutional repository BEARdocs. Based on a model developed for graduate projects in museum studies, one student in each group is designated to upload the poster file along with the copyright acknowledgement forms from all the group participants. This endeavor has proven popular because the projects are now discoverable in Google Scholar; consequently, the biology department would like to expand it to other undergraduate classes.
