Digital Commons@Becker achieved a major milestone this week as the digital repository for the School of Medicine surpassed the mark of 1 million items downloaded.
Launched in March 2010 as a digital showcase for research and scholarship at the School of Medicine, Digital Commons@Becker now houses over 11,000 items including journal articles, meeting abstracts, capstones, research papers, archival materials, poster presentations, newsletters, videos, podcasts and more.
As of this year, Digital Commons@Becker features 53 distinct collections representing the research and scholarly works of 14 departments, programs and centers at the School of Medicine.
Established as a free service to the medical school community, Digital Commons@Becker is currently managed by a team of Becker Library staff led by Amy Suiter, scholarly publishing librarian, with ongoing collection development and maintenance assistance provided by Angie Rosengarten, evening and weekend supervisor, and her staff.
