Trinity College faculty and students are rich producers of academic and creative publications, and much of this work is openly available online from our Digital Repository.  The goal of the Repository is to capture, preserve, and provide access to “all things Trinity.”

The Faculty Scholarship section includes articles published in journals and magazines. Since publisher policies vary, some of the articles are provided in their manuscript version, rather than the final published edition. A resource called Sherpa/Romeo tracks nearly every major publisher policy so that libraries and authors can obtain guidance on the legal use of previously-published articles. Trinity faculty who deposit their work in the Repository receive readership statistics and increased visibility of their work.

The Repository also collects senior theses. Graduating seniors may opt to archive their thesis or final project in the Repository and choose whether to allow unrestricted or campus-only access. The Repository also provides a permanent URL to use on resumes or job applications.

To submit material to the Repository, please get in touch with Amy Harrell, Digital Projects Librarian.

On Thursday, March 24, the library will launch a new search tool on our home page called Worldcat Discovery.

Worldcat Discovery helps our users quickly start a search for books and articles without knowing all the research databases and catalogs the library offers. Once you search, you can quickly narrow results to the type of material you want. Other benefits include:

• Perform one search to find a variety of materials and formats, instead of searching the catalog and article databases separately.
• Use it to request books and other materials from CTW or other colleges and universities.
• In many cases, you can reach the full text of an article directly from Worldcat Discovery.
• Easy options to copy or send a formatted citation.

The traditional catalog search and separate research databases are all still available.

Access Worldcat Discovery from the library home page, or by visiting http://trincoll.on.worldcat.org

As of February 1, 2016, iCONN will become researchIT CT. The name, logo, and web address will change, but the service and content will continue as before.  Access to resources will also continue on as before: automatic login from within the library, school, or academic institution; login with a valid Connecticut public library card number for remote access.  The link http://www.iconn.org will continue to work until the last week of January; after that, the link will change to http://www.researchitct.org.
