Looking back at 2021, GustieScholar, the open access institutional repository of Gustavus faculty, staff and students, had over 4200 pageviews and 104 new items added. As part of the Archive’s Digital Collection, the institutional repository consists of a Faculty/Staff and a Student collection.
The repository has a wide variety of projects from coursework (including capstone projects) to posters, presentations, and journal articles. Articles include both works previously published as open access and, with the permission of the publisher, earlier author drafts of articles published behind paywalls. The student repository also includes the complete run of the Firethorne literary journal.
