Conferences and Events Management

Gleeson Library provides campus conferences/events management through Digital Commons software. Conference/event organizer can easily manage electronic paper submission, peer review, acceptance, permissions, and publication. They can post the event schedule and the embedded registration directly on the conference site. Papers can be collected into proceedings series that are fully indexed and discoverable in search engines, disseminated to readers via email and RSS, and integrated with the hosting department’s site on the repository. Multimedia options are also available.

Other Digital Publishing & Digitization Services

The library also supports digitizing and making current USF print publications available online. We have digitized and hosted online USF student anthologies, journals, bulletins, etc. for various campus units and USF affiliates. We would be happy to explore and consult on options and solutions for your digital publishing and/or digitization needs.
