Welcome to SOAR (Shocker Open Access Repository), a new service of University Libraries. SOAR is a powerful and flexible electronic database that serves two main purposes: to secure access to the University intellectual output for a long period of time and to distribute it worldwide. Only WSU current employees authored or sponsored works may be found in this database. Authors or their representatives may submit materials either themselves or with a SOAR staff help. Access to some collections or items may be restricted according to the nature of materials or author request. Authors retain copyright to their own works published/archived in SOAR (see University intellectual Property policy .) Users have options to browse collections by keyword, title, author, date, or subject, or to search full text. Those who want to receive email notification on new additions may use a RSS feed or SOAR internal email system. University faculty and staff, we invite you to publish/archive your works, data, or documents in SOAR. Just fill out a simple submission form and we do the rest. Or contact Subject Librarian, or SOAR Coordinator Dr.Susan Matveveva. Read FAQ and other SOAR documentation to learn more about this service. |
