A brief description of the open access policy, including the date adopted and repository(ies) used:

The University of Nebraska–Lincoln Digital Common Repository was established in 2005 and has grown to become the second largest institutional repository for faculty research in the United State. It hosts more than 66,315 documents, including 13,000 dissertations, and 53,000 faculty articles, monographs, reviews, white papers, technical reports, conference presentations, musical scores, and creative works.

The Board of Regents of the University of Nebraska protects the copyright ownership of the authors of any scholarly communication. Therefore participation in this program is not mandatory. However the Faculty senate endorses open access and the Digital Commons Institutional Repository, and encourages all faculty to use the service.
