It is now an universally accepted dictum that all publicly funded research output has to be made publicly available in the free domain to be accessed and used for the purpose of communication of science and advancement of knowledge. In case of any given institution, an authorized mandate by the governing executive body/management will be enough to meet the concern of the infringement of intellectual property right. In India as well as other developed country in the West many libraries and library consortiums have adopted this approach to great success and much gratitude of the research community.

Ownership of copyrights in student theses will depend on the IP policies of the respective institutions. For example, the MIT (USA) policy states that the ownership will rest with the Institute, http://web.mit.edu/policies/13/13.1.html#sub3. In the case of the university of Sydney, the copyright rests with the student, http://sydney.edu.au/copyright/students/research.shtml#protect So, publishing theses through your institute institutional repository will depend on your institute IP policy. In case the the copyright rests with the students, they should be educated to publish a copy of their theses on the institute repository. By doing so, the students' work will get better visibility and impact. Hope this helps. - Francis NCSI, IISc Bangalore, India
