Documenting And Promoting Research & Engagement Using Scholarworks, Umass Amherst's Digital Repository, Marilyn S. Billings

Marilyn S. Billings

At UMass Amherst, Marilyn Billings works with university administration and faculty to publish the University's community engagement research, providing a central location for documenting the university’s eligibility for the Carnegie Elective Classification in Community Engagement. Marilyn will discuss how they’ve developed these regional, community-oriented IR collections, the role of the IR collections in gaining grants and supporting continued research, and the benefits that open-access to such scholarship brings to the local community.
