10 Million Free Downloads from IUPUI ScholarWorks
In 2002, IUPUI’s libraries formed a working group to explore the idea of launching an institutional repository. Like many universities, IUPUI was looking for a way to provide digital, no-cost access to the scholarship authored by it’s faculty and students. It was hoped that the institutional repository would become a key way for a library to offer the free (sometimes called “green” open access) service to its patrons.
