IU Bloomington Libraries encourages Indiana University faculty, staff and students to protect and preserve their data and scholarship by depositing it in IU repositories, which will perpetually preserve such content.

On the Bloomington campus, those resources are IU DataCORE for data and IUScholarWorks for articles, preprints/postprints, grey literature, syllabi, etc.

Depositing work in the university’s repositories, in addition to public and disciplinary ones, creates an additional copy of the materials, which increases their protection. 

IU repositories also allow users to make their data and scholarship publicly accessible. 

For questions about depositing data into IU DataCORE, consult the DataCORE user guide or contact Ethan Fridmanski, data services librarian, at ejfridma@iu.edu.

For questions about depositing scholarship into IUScholarWorks, consult the IUScholarWorks user guide or contact the Libraries Scholarly Communication Department at iusw@iu.edu.
