In 2012, Musselman Library launched The Cupola Scholarship at Gettysburg College. Our repository includes original and previously published content from faculty, as well as exemplary works by students. We intend to migrate print journals, published by Gettysburg College, to the site, as well. Participants will learn how we customized the bepress Digital Commons product, established policies, solicited content from the campus community, and promoted the project. Smaller libraries can benefit from using a cloud-based product like Digital Commons to host a sustainable repository.”
