University Libraries Presentations
This talk is an expanded version of one given at the 2015 MOBIUS conference. Washington University librarians Emily Stenberg and Lauren Todd explain how they created and manage a collection in the university’s repository Open Scholarship for the Computer Science and Engineering department.

The presenters will also discuss how this project has helped them offer Open Scholarship as a service to other engineering faculty.
