i've dealt with this before, but with elite scientists, who usually
want all the attention they can get.

Questions to ask:

1) are you attributing authorship (in the sense of owning a copyright)
to the people you are giving this form to. That is, do they have any
reasonable justification for claiming copyright in the

Creative Commons Media Release?

2009-11-03T21:02:03Z

Hello,
Does anyone have experience with media releases that also incorporate
Creative Commons licensing? The Human Subjects Review board here at UC
Berkeley says that archaeological photography and video recording both lay
outside of the purview of the IRB, but that getting a media release would
be "the nice thing to do." Following the template of the media release

I'd like to thank Alex for his efforts. It was certainly worth a shot!
Too bad it didn't work out.

Since we have representatives from a number of section executive
committees on this list, it might be good to talk about whether or not
running such repositories is not something the AAA sections might be

Shuttering Mana'o

2009-08-26T01:29:53Z

Hello all,
I'm back from two months in Papua New Guinea, and just now getting
settled back in as the semester starts etc. I know there was a flurry
of emails over the summer while I was away on this list which I am
still trying to dredge out of my mailbox. However I wanted to drop a
line with the sad news that I am shuttering the Mana'o repository.

Great, your blog post inspired me to finally post this to the OAA blog!

I have found that Academia.edu and Selected Works both do a good job
of posting papers. Its is easy to upload, and both turn up high on
Google Scholar searches. Selected Works is a bit more professional-
looking, and they provide a monthly count of downloads. Academic.edu
lets you know when someone has searched for something and found your

Hey everyone,

I could help setup a mirroring system for the archive, so that
multiple universities could help mirror the repository. (the more the
merrier). Mirroring doesn't take much work - and solves the flakky
server issue.

I'd be happy to setup the first Mana'o mirror - and I'll find out how

It is sad that Mana'o is probably not sustainable as is, but it worked
as a proof-of-concept effort showing that it can be done at a
technical level and that there is a user community.

I cannot speak for the Indiana University Bloomington libraries, but I
am involved in exploring similar questions and projects with my

Re: Mana'o

Since Mana'o has come up a few times recently, I'll share what I know:

Mana'o has been run off of a computer in Alex Golub's office and he hasn't had the time to maintain the tech side of things. Consequently, Mana'o is down permanently. I would be happy to work with anyone who would like to revive the repository and I think Alex would be happy to see the repository have a new home. Ideally, someone would approach the institutional repository/digital projects folks at their university and convince them to host the repository (I think Indiana might be open to the discussion, but I don't know the situation there as well as I used to). The other option on the horizon is to put a lot of energy into SSRN. They want to expand into more disciplines and would be happy to have a few anthropologists sign on as editors to move things forward. If you are interested, I believe the contact person is still Gregg Gordon ( Gregg_Gor...@ssrn.com ).

Kerim,

You've done a good job of identifying many of the questions that need
answering. I did some research on Google's site, and there is an
established process for getting Google Scholar to index your archived
works. I plan on submitting the OAC repository, once there is a
larger number of people self-archiving there.

just a quick question to further complicate things... what is the eduPunk
approach to archival persistence? How would these tools allow for permanent
findability and a certain sense that one can be sure it will stay available
for a long time? DOI numbers require an institutional home... COiNs data
