Between July 1996 and July 1997 seven Dutch universities were involved in the project DEGREE (Dissemination of Electronic GREy files on Economics). Objectives of the project were: electronic production, disclosure and availability via WWW of full text working papers on economics and business economics. Procedures and formats were analysed, discussed and established. This joint effort resulted in a national WWW homepage for working papers on economics, where the full text papers can be retrieved. Structural continuation of the project is based on a gentlemen’s agreement between the DEGREE participants. In an international scope, co‐operation with RePEc is established. This paper will describe the way in which the project DEGREE was set up, carried out and built into an interesting WWW site.
