Introduction
This document outlines the policies established for the current and future collections residing in DigitalCommons@CSB/SJU.
Adding Content
DigitalCommons@CSB/SJU is a dynamic institutional repository system based on the principle of Open Access, that enables us to collect, distribute to the broader community, and preserve the scholarly output of the faculty, students and staff at CSB/SJU. Members of the CSB/SJU community interested in submitting materials should consult with the Digital Commons Coordinator (David Wuolu, dwuolu@csbsju.edu) or another member of the Digital Commons team (Diana Symons, dsymons@csbsju.edu, Janice Rod, jrod@csbsju.edu, or Adam Bauer, abauer@csbsju.edu). Appropriate content may be added following the guidelines below:
- The work must be originally produced or sponsored by a faculty, staff, student, organization or department of CSB/SJU
- The work must be creative, scholarly in nature, research oriented, or of institutional significance
- The author must own the copyright to all components and content within the work, or have received and shown permission to have the material available on Digital Commons
- The author or representative of the organization or department must sign a permission form (linked below) or accept the click-through agreement (if self-uploaded), or otherwise grant us permission to host the content prior to material being added to the repository, granting the College the right to distribute and preserve the material via DigitalCommons@CSB/SJU
- Most file formats are acceptable. For technical questions please contact the Digital Commons Coordinator.

- Faculty publications, both in peer-reviewed journals (when allowed) and in other sources, as well as unpublished materials of value
