A brief description of the open access policy, including the date adopted and repository(ies) used:
Colby has a digital commons website that was created to house all of Colby's student research, as well as the research supported by faculty. At times the uploading of particular faculty or student research can be delayed for a variety of reasons - quality, funding, the publishing of scholarly work, but those concerns notwithstanding, the website houses Colby's research. Honors theses are deposited there as well as capstone reports and several other studies.
While Colby does not have a formal policy requiring open access to research, it is an option for all faculty, and the large majority of all student work is posted to the website.
