[Air-l] Re: Conference papers online (Bram Dov Abramson)

[Robert Luke]

Jason et al - what about using an extant repository for something like

Willinsky's Public Knowledge Project at UBC already has this
infrastructure in place.  There are others, too, such as e-prints, that
work in similar ways.
