This bookmark-sized promotional piece, inspired by a similar work promoting the institutional repository at the University of Pennsylvania, promotes open-access faculty scholarship in the University of Dayton's Digital Commons repository, eCommons, as well as the University Libraries' data management consulting services. During Open Access Week (Oct. 19-23, 2015), library liaisons, repository staff and graduate school administrators distributed the bookmarks at three campus locations along with cookies decorated with the OA "unlocked" logo. Access services librarians also included the bookmark with all "Roesch2U" faculty deliveries during Open Access Week.
