Abstract

Most institutional repositories have no issues with reaching out to campus faculty and researchers in their attempts to host and highlight university scholarship. But what about students? Often the focus begins and ends with graduate dissertations and theses or perhaps the occasional high profile undergraduate project. We wanted to go a step further. Many colleges and universities support undergraduate honors and research programs whose culminating projects include presentations and/or participation in symposiums and conferences. As scholarly output of the university, we wanted to capture their work before they graduated or moved into the workforce or graduate work. This brief presentation will describe our strategy, pros and cons, and success in building a sustainable process that provides IR inclusion for undergraduates at the University of West Florida.
