Program Overview
The Ina Dillard Russell Library is committed to recognizing the scholarly achievements of Georgia College by providing publishing opportunities for undergraduate and graduate Georgia College students, as well as faculty. Student and faculty research is published in the institutional repository “The Knowledge Box.” Emphasis is on interdisciplinary work aimed at an academic audience. Papers can contribute to the scholarly conversation by reporting critical empirical results in science and mathematics, by developing social science theories, or by exploring descriptive literary and artistic motifs and arguments. The Russell Library is a supporter of Open Access, a publication model that enables the dissemination of research articles to the community without restriction.
