Arizona: Broad interest to the repository community as a whole- Perhaps an opportunity to connect to other groups such as DLF or other repository platforms to see if there are existing best practices or if we could develop them together.

- DSpace code

Texas Digital Library is reviewing best practices now. Interested in developments on the system side, since we can only control the incoming content.
Very little control over the accessibility of ingested theses and dissertations. One university requires submission of ETDs in PDF/A.
