Despite limited success, today’s information retrieval (IR) systems are not intelligent and reliable. IR systems return poor search results when users formulate their information needs into incomplete or ambiguous queries (i.e., weak queries).

Many institutions have open access (OA) policies that require faculty members to deposit their articles in an institutional repository (IR). A clear motivation is that a policy will result in increased self-archiving. The purpose of this longitudinal study is to compare the impact of a campus-wide OA policy and mediated...
