• Compliance and accountability for publicly-funded faculty research
• More functionality than personal websites can provide
• Long-term digital preservation (no more broken links!)
• Full-text searching across your body of work
• Free, open access to university digital works
• Expert consultation on copyright, digital formats, and author's rights
