The UWM Libraries are retiring our institutional repository, UWM Digital Commons, and moving its content to MINDS@UW (Multidisciplinary Institutional Network for Data and Scholarship), a Universities of Wisconsin community-hosted repository.
“MINDS@UW Milwaukee” will support open access to research and scholarship by UWM authors and will be the site for all of UWM’s electronic theses and dissertations. Our migration to the new platform will be completed before the end of the calendar year.
October 21-27 is International Open Access Week, and this year’s theme is “Community over Commercialization.” In addition to joining a community-powered institutional repository, UWM Libraries continue to support our research, teaching, and learning communities with “read and publish agreements” with academic and non-profit publishers that allow UWM authors to publish articles on open access without article processing charges in select journals, and our open educational resources initiative, which supports our students by lowering textbook costs.
