Submit your Work to Iwasaki Library’s “Emerson Authors, Creators, and Researchers” Project

Iwasaki Library home

EMERSON AUTHORS, RESEARCHERS, CREATORS (ARC)

Our full time and affiliated faculty are a vibrant community of Emerson Authors, Researchers, and Creators.  A survey of the landscape at Emerson shows there are currently multiple avenues for showcasing faculty research and works. However, long term discoverability and inter-faculty academic connections are the final pieces missing from this landscape.

Iwasaki Library’s mission is to facilitate access and create opportunities for discovery and campus-wide connection. This has led us to the creation of an online space facilitating the discovery of faculty research and works.  We will be gathering author, researcher, and creator data on projects, including keywords and descriptions, and creating a searchable and faceted database dedicated to faculty works.  

Please help us get started in this important project by entering your 2020 works at: http://bit.ly/emARC2020
