Digital Commons

The Digital Commons is DePaul's institutional repository. It provides a permanent, safe service for providing access to articles, technical reports, datasets, images and other file types produced at DePaul by faculty, students and staff. The repository enables DePaul researchers and academic units to make their scholarly materials accessible to the world, at a stable URL, with the assurance that the materials will be maintained into the future.

SelectedWorks

SelectedWorks is a web-based researcher profile system created by Bepress. Supported by DePaul Library, SelectedWorks provides faculty with the tools needed to easily build and maintain their own professionally designed researcher profiles. The SelectedWorks Expert Gallery Suite will be transitioning to a new platform in Fall 2024. More information to come soon. 

Contributors have the option to create professional-looking, easy-to-maintain online profile pages to showcase their publications and other content uploaded to the repository, link to a CV, display research interests, awards, and other information, and set up email subscription lists and RSS feeds to alert colleagues of newly available works.
