New! LibraOpen Offers a World of Options for Promoting UVA Scholarship

The University of Virginia’s scholarly repository, Libra, is expanding! Now, there’s LibraOpen, the newest addition to Libra’s suite of open access services, offering more options for getting your scholarship out to the public. LibraOpen now accepts a broad range of deposit types, in addition to articles and traditional research. For instance, depositing a poster from a conference, or a video of a presentation, whether at UVA or another institution, creates a Digital Object Identifier (DOI)—a persistent URL that you can immediately share and cite. It will go live in Virgo within 24 hours, and be available via search engine to educators, scholars, and the public around the world.
