Description

The Institutional Repository at the University of Florida (IR@UF) is a platform and suite of services designed to provide access and preservation of scholarship generated by our institutional community. Most of our early efforts were directed at engaging faculty, staff and graduate students, which left our largest population, undergraduate students, under-served and under-represented. Over the past two years we have been pursued partnership opportunities with the Honors Program and the Center for Undergraduate Research, as well as seeking out additional opportunities to educate our undergraduate students about the IR@UF and solicit submissions. This presentation will provide an overview of these efforts, along with the challenges we have faced in incorporating this working into our IR, and future goals to better serve the needs of this segment of our institutional community.
