About Institutional Repositories

UMass Global ScholarWorks is the University's open-access institutional repository. This repository provides access to the scholarly and historical products of UMass Global's students, faculty and staff. This provides distributed file systems for reliable content delivery, featuring regular backups and persistent URLs for long-term accessibility.
