ETD Embargo Policies Resource

In 2024, the TDL DSpace Users Group conducted a survey of repository managers from TDL member institutions to learn more about their policies and procedures regarding embargoes for ETDs in their DSpace repositories. The results of the survey were presented to the Users Group in early 2025.

The primary goals for the survey were 1) to learn more about ETD policies at different TDL institutions, including where norms may align and 2) to create a resource of external-facing ETD policies for TDL members, to assist those who are creating or updating policies and would like to compare with other Texas institutions. This page is the result of that survey.

The following links to policy pages have been shared by the IR manager(s) from that institution, with permission to include in this resource. For specific questions about ETD policies, reach out to the individual institution.
