Abstract
Software is a critical digital content component that is generated on academic campus by
way of mandatory course requirements. These software need to be protected with an
assigned ownership and a specific terms of use. Software that is generated on campuses
typically does not get archived or catalogued in campus-wide repositories. SALIS a prototype
software repository addresses these needs and serves to augment typical institutional
repositories. This paper attempts to bring out the need for protecting the software
generated on campuses and the need to archive it in an orderly manner. Additionally
SALIS also addresses Intellectual Property concerns such as ownership, protection and
terms of use of the software produced and provide an effective way of archiving
