If you're looking at a long list of published works that may be candidates for deposit to the University Digital Conservancy or another repository, it's difficult to know where to begin. SHERPA/RoMEO made determining which of those items are the "low hanging fruit" a little easier last week when they added this page to their site:
http://www.sherpa.ac.uk/romeo/PDFandIR.html
The page lists all publishers that allow authors to deposit the published version of their article into their institutional repository. As of today, the list includes 51 publishers that allow deposit with no embargo or fee. You'll still need to check the individual publisher's record--some require things like a link to the publisher's site--but you won't need to find the author's post-refereed final draft.
