Abstract
Purpose: This ScholarWorks Authorization form is the official document by which a graduate program communicates its desire to have the selected project permanently archived in ScholarWorks and where a graduate student (a) provides necessary certifications for the final version of his or her graduate project, and (b) grants the university a non-exclusive right to archive the project and make it publicly accessible via ScholarWorks.
Scope: A completed ScholarWorks authorization form is required before any graduate project and related files can be uploaded into the ScholarWorks repository. A student who completes and submits this form to the Scholarly Communications and Data Management unit of the Albertsons Library is doing so because their completed and fully approved project is identified by the faculty of the student’s graduate program as being especially appropriate for access by the public through the ScholarWorks repository. Submission of a graduate project to ScholarWorks is not a graduation requirement, and the student may decline the recommendation of the program faculty to submit his or her graduate project to ScholarWorks without consequence.
Procedure: Graduate students whose projects are selected for archiving by their graduate program and who wish to follow through on this recommendation will need to complete and return this form by email to the Institutional Repository Manager (scholarworks@boisestate.edu) before any documents are uploaded to the ScholarWorks site.
Questions: Students with questions about the ScholarWorks uploading process should contact the institutional repository manager at scholarworks@boisestate.edu or 208-426-1534.
