The Keep Spotlight

The Keep (https://thekeep.eiu.edu/) is the EIU institutional repository, a digital archive of faculty
scholarship, student and professional journals, graduate theses, undergraduate honors papers, EIU
historical documents, committee documents and more. The mission of The Keep is to digitize, preserve
and promote the scholarly output of EIU, optimizing the content for easy online discovery.

EIU faculty with a SelectedWorks profile in The Keep create visibility of their research, courses,
disciplines, departments, and our institution. SelectedWorks pages are search engine optimized, so
content on them is more discoverable by Google and other search engines as compared to regular
webpages. There are 193 EIU faculty with SelectedWorks pages, representing every college and most
departments. Faculty works have been downloaded all around the world more than 155,800 times.
