What is this project?

eCommons (ecommons.cornell.edu) is a service of the Cornell University Library that provides long-term access to a broad range of Cornell-related digital content of enduring value.

As part of its social commitment as a research university, Cornell strives to ensure that scholarly research results are as widely available as possible. eCommons provides open access to the work that makes Cornell a leader in research, teaching, and creativity. eCommons is where the Library preserves the scholarly and artistic work of our faculty, staff, and students. eCommons showcases the work of individuals as well as departments, programs, institutes, and other formal and informal campus communities.

eCommons is designed to meet the demands of today's researcher. The service is also intended to evolve to reflect changing publishing needs and norms as identified by Cornell faculty, staff, and students; it welcomes your input and engagement. The University Library provides this service free to members of the Cornell University scholarly community.
