Abstract

Digital Commons @Gardner-Webb University, our institutional repository, preserves and showcases the scholarly and creative works by faculty, staff, and students at Gardner-Webb University. It helps connect the library with the campus community and allows us to showcase Gardner-Webb’s unique collections. Due to its support of a large variety of file types, it also provides the opportunity for out-of-the-box instruction opportunities. This presentation will demonstrated how we are introducing these collections to the campus community and reporting successful collection usage even in the early stages of the repository.
