Since Launching in 2015, the University鈥檚 Repository Logs Over 2 Million Document Downloads

BOILING SPRINGS, N.C.鈥� is celebrating its 10th anniversary. Launched in 2015 as a repository for graduate theses and dissertations and two institutional journals, it has grown to host nearly 10,000 works and has over 2 million document downloads.

Institutional repositories are vital for preserving records that are either at risk of physical deterioration or getting lost in the rapidly-changing internet landscape. 鈥淚t has been interesting to observe the repository鈥檚 growth and the development of new collections over the last 10 years since the launch,鈥� noted Dover Library鈥檚 Acquisitions & Collection Management Librarian Holly Mabry. 鈥淚 hope that Digital Commons will continue to provide a way to preserve and showcase the research, creative and historical records at 成人视频 for many years to come.鈥�

A Readership Map on the Digital Commons web page displays the titles and authors of the papers as they are being downloaded. On a recent day, readers in China, Brazil, Philippines, Illinois, and Washington, D.C., examined papers relating to political science, nursing, education and science. Some of them explored documents in various historical archives. In addition, the paper with the most downloads was 鈥淎 Qualitative Study of the Impact of Experiences of Students with Parents as their Principal, Teacher, or Coach.鈥�

As an institutional repository with unlimited storage space, Digital Commons serves as a permanent home for important University and community works and includes the ability to house text, image audio, and video files. Along with the original two journals鈥擳he from the GWU College of Education and from the GWU School of Psychological Science and Counselor Education鈥擠igital Commons has served as a launching pad for a variety of new ideas and programs.

The College of Education also publishes professional learning modules in its developed by its EDCI students. Student and faculty scholarship activities such as presentations and publications are provided in the repository as well.
