CSU Pueblo Digital Repository

The CSU Pueblo Digital Repository is a freely accessible collection of research, scholarship, and creative works produced at Colorado State University Pueblo. Its mission is to make CSU Pueblo’s intellectual output freely accessible to researchers around the world, enable rapid dissemination of research, and ensure future, persistent, and reliable access to intellectual assets. The CSU Pueblo Digital Repository is part of Mountain Scholar, a shared initiative of several academic entities within the states of Colorado and Wyoming.

Works in the CSU Pueblo Digital Repository are:

  • Free to read and download
  • Securely backed up
  • Easily discoverable by search engines
  • Assigned permanent URLs, so links never break

Deposit Your Research and Scholarship

Faculty, students, and staff are encouraged to self-archive their published and unpublished works by placing them in the repository for increased visibility and long-term preservation. The library can assist authors and creators by:

  • Consulting with you on how to check the copyright permissions associated with your published work;
  • Uploading your work into the repository and providing metadata (descriptive information);
  • Verifying and including the citation/publication details of your work within its metadata;
  • Abiding by and managing any embargos associated with your publication or work;
  • Determining the policies of publishers with regard to their copyright agreements with authors.

Submissions

CSU Pueblo Faculty and Staff

Author/creator submissions to the digital repository may include works including, but not limited to, conference papers and presentations, working papers, white papers, technical reports, approved student research, musical compositions, art, performances, books, and journal articles. CSU Pueblo colleges and departments may submit archival materials that document the history and intellectual life of the university.

CSU Pueblo Conferences

Authors/creators who prepare papers, posters, or other materials for university-sponsored conferences are also encouraged to submit their works to the repository.

CSU Pueblo Students

All graduate and undergraduate student theses will be accepted for deposit, as the University Library is the official archive for these documents. Graduate students are required to submit their thesis in accordance with the Library Thesis Binding Policy in order to graduate. Thesis submission instructions are covered in Thesis Support.

Students may also submit posters, presentations, papers, and other works. These submissions must be sponsored by a CSU Pueblo faculty or staff member who deems the work suitable for the long term preservation and access provided by the repository. Students are also encouraged to submit academic papers to El Rio: A Student Research Journal for publication.
