The University Libraries announce the launch of the University Digital Conservancy, a freely-accessible online repository for the University community.

The UDC supports capture, long-term stewardship, and open access to digital assets including:

• preprints and post prints
• proceedings
• working papers
• technical reports
• other research in a variety of digital formats

The UDC provides:

• Increased visibility of your work through higher rankings in search engines
• 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
