С»ÆÊé Libraries announces new and improved Scholars Junction institutional repository
С»ÆÊésity Libraries is announcing the new and improved Scholars Junction (), С»ÆÊé's institutional repository.
The new platform for Scholars Junction, Digital Commons, provides additional functionality for the repository to host open access journals, events and associated archival material, image galleries, books, usage statistics and more.
Scholars Junction now will be the official repository for С»ÆÊé scholarship and creative activities, as well as open educational resources, department archives, museums and galleries, administrative documents, С»ÆÊé research reports and much more. With unlimited storage capacity, Scholars Junction is the official data repository for university-created research data and is the official С»ÆÊé open data repository for all federal grants mandating shared data.
In addition to serving as a repository of faculty and student scholarship and research, Scholars Junction also includes all С»ÆÊé electronic theses and dissertations, materials digitized from University Archives and Special Collections, Ulysses S. Grant Presidential Library collections and material from the Frank and Virginia Williams Collection of Lincolniana.
