       ** apologies for cross-posting **

If your institution has any OAI-compliant Open Access 
Archives or Repositories, please register them at:
http://archives.eprints.org/

(check first whether it is one of the 516 that are already registered)

Also, please make sure your archive is picked up by
http://celestial.eprints.org/ so its growth in contents
can be tracked, tallied and displayed across time.

Also, if your institution has a self-archiving policy, please
register it (to inspire emulation by others) at:
http://www.eprints.org/openaccess/policysignup/sign.php

Here are the current counts, but I am sure there are more
archives out there! It will encourage others to create and
fill archives to see how many there are already, and how they
are growing:
