Abstract	University research output is increasingly appearing in digital form, but published research currently reaches a limited audience. Much academic writing is locked away behind subscription barriers. Also lost to sight is much of the digital "grey" literature emanating from academic departments, schools and research centres, such as seminar presentations, working papers and technical reports. Other forms of research output, such as X-rays, laboratory results, pathology slides, reports of experiments, research datasets, and software are also under-reported at all levels, not least at the institutional level. Even where research is systematically gathered by an institution, this information is not made available in a national, searchable dataset. The development of the open access publishing movement in the UK, the US and now worldwide is a response to just these problems of hard-to-access research. the eScholarship@UQ project will deploy a combination of institutional and harvester-based models to develop a repository. It will first to identify all UQ research output and then test the feasibility of capturing its associated metadata with a view to making it available through a central portal that can be searched or browsed by discipline. The end result will be a metadata gateway that will identify what research has been done at UQ. Making previously under-reported citation and other information available will greatly improve the visibility of much of this work, and will do so in an open access, harvestable environment.
