Roles and responsibilities

I manage the institutional repository (IR), Digital Scholarship@UNLV, which is an online platform designed to openly share and preserve UNLV research, scholarship, and creative activity. It hosts over 20,000 full-text or equivalent items and has received over 14 million downloads worldwide! I work with faculty, staff, and students across the university from all disciplines and backgrounds and who produce a wide variety of work. I work on a dynamic research support team that includes the Institutional Repository Technician, Scholarly Communication Librarian, Research Impact Librarian, Data Visualization and GIS Specialist, and Data Librarian. Together, we support UNLV researchers throughout the research lifecycle.

Ask me about…

  • The benefits of sharing your work through the IR
  • Whether your work is eligible for the IR
  • How to set up a new collection in the IR for your student’s class projects, a research event you organize, or institute
  • How to submit your electronic thesis or dissertation to the IR
