New York State Digital Collections & Primary Resources

Many libraries are actively involved in building institutional repositories of their books, papers, theses, and other works which can be digitized or were ‘born digital’. Many of these repositories are made available to the general public with few restrictions, in accordance with the goals of open access, in contrast to the publication of research in commercial journals, where the publishers often limit access rights.
