91Â鶹ÌìÃÀ Libraries announces new and improved Scholars Junction institutional repository
91Â鶹ÌìÃÀ University Libraries is announcing the new and improved Scholars Junction (), 91Â鶹ÌìÃÀ'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 91Â鶹ÌìÃÀ scholarship and creative activities, as well as open educational resources, department archives, museums and galleries, administrative documents, 91Â鶹ÌìÃÀ 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 91Â鶹ÌìÃÀ 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 91Â鶹ÌìÃÀ 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.
Along with the new Scholars Junction, 91Â鶹ÌìÃÀ Libraries has become a member of CrossRef, which enables the assignment of DOIs to select repository items. The assignment of DOIs facilitates the discovery of repository content and provides permanent linking without concern of future changes.
