USC Digital Library Seeks Faculty Contributors

USC Libraries has joined other top universities in offering to faculty secure server space for storing work in progress, important documents, and teaching materials (including multimedia projects). See http://ir.usc.edu

This secure digital library with plenty of space is called the USC Institutional Repository (and is also known as DSpace). Its great advantage is that the USC Libraries assumes responsibility for the storage of the documents on stable servers (unlike commercially available digital spaces, which are ephemeral).

Access to personalized DSpaces can be limited to owner (professor contributor), to a select group of people, or open to the world (world wide web accessible). Among other purposes, DSpace can be used for launching new scholarly journals, archiving papers produced by graduate students, and as a tool for facilitating online scholarly collaborations. Contact Deborah Holmes-Wong for more details at dhwong@usc.edu.
