The Department of Library Services provides access to the South College Institutional Repository for the preservation and discovery of scholarly works created by faculty, staff, and students. Faculty and staff are encouraged to submit scholarly works and publications to the repository. Graduate student works produced in pursuit of completion of their program are submitted to the institutional repository as part of their completion requirements. The Institutional Repository is publicly searchable. Full text documents are only accessible to current South College faculty, staff, and students.
Each academic department has a designated faculty member for the IR Team. These faculty are responsible for the submission of graduate student, faculty, and staff works to the Institutional Repository for their academic department. The Library's IR Team members collaborate with the faculty to ensure all submitted works are complete before being added to the Institutional Repository.
Once a submission is confirmed complete, it will be batched with other documents ready for upload. The Library's IR Team will batch upload all new submissions on a monthly basis.
