Welcome to the digital repository of University of Hawaii at Manoa!

A repository is a central place which stores and maintains scholarly information in digital format. This repository will provide a home for the increasing amount of digital scholarly output that is being created by the University of Hawaii at Manoa (UHM) community. It captures, indexes, stores, makes searchable, disseminates, and preserves digital materials and provides these services for as long as they are needed.

The repository supports a variety of document types and file formats. Contributors, organized into communities, will retain copyright to their submissions and control access to their collections. The ScholarSpace team provides the computer services, advises on workflow and metadata, and ensures long-term retention and access to the materials.

These materials can include scholarly communications (articles and pre-prints), theses, dissertations, technical reports, teaching materials, and other textual material, together with images, multimedia clips, interactive teaching programs, data sets, and databases.

What can ScholarSpace do for you?

• You will have easy-to-use tools to share, over the web, materials such as datasets, learning objects, slideshows, or extension agency publications.
• It removes the worry about having access to web services for your digital materials, whether it be at the individual, program, or department level.
• It ensures your materials will be stored and accessible over the long-term.
