About USpace

USpace is the University of Utah's institutional repository. An institutional repository (IR) is a long-term digital archive containing scholarly or artistic work produced by the members of a particular institution. IRs function to collect and maintain intellectual products such as published journal articles (pre- and post- print), conference papers and proceedings, creative research, data sets, reports, theses and dissertations, and other scholarly endeavors and to offer open access to scholarly research to anyone in the world.

Institutional Repositories may be linked together or aggregated with one searchable interface based on subject interest, type of material, region, or other common factor. For example, the Networked Digital Library of Theses & Dissertations collections include graduate work from around the world.
