Bonnie Klein, Information Collection/Copyright Specialist at the US Defense Technical Information Center, points to the long experience of government agencies in capturing and preserving their intellectual assets in repositories so information can be reorganized, reduced, and recombined. “Without the repositories, these reports would sit in somebody’s office…and this information would be lost,” says Klein. She urges universities to “collect the corporate output of the institution” to support accountability and show “patterns in the development of where the institution has been and where it’s going.”
