Content:
We had been using DSpace to make our theses/dissertations available electronically so when we decided to use Digital Commons for our repository, theses and dissertations were saved for us until such time we could start uploading them.

Center for Research on Violence Against Women

The Director of the Center wanted to make her publications and those of her faculty available on one site. I worked with one of the graduate students to show how to obtain copyright permissions/information—and the Center’s staff did the work.

We obtained copyright permissions for as much as we could

17. Value of the IR Carol E. Jordan, Assistant Provost
UK Knowledge is a tremendous scholarly resource. It has advanced the Center’s national visibility, particularly with respect to our published scholarship. At a practical level, it has increased citations and aided us in organizing our publications and promoting our authors.
