Program Overview
Harold B. Lee Library’s primary publishing resources include ScholarsArchive, an institutional repository which includes digital publishing services for faculty- and student-edited journals. ScholarsArchive is designed to make original scholarly and creative work—such as research, publications, journals, and data—freely and persistently available. The library’s publishing efforts are targeted at supporting broader academic and public discovery and use of university scholarship. ScholarsArchive may also house items of historic interest to the university. The library provides support with software, digitization, metadata creation, journal management, and data management.
