Smithsonian Libraries Surpasses 10,000 Items in Digital Repository

In February the Libraries deposited the 10,000th publication in the Smithsonian Digital Repository, part of the Smithsonian Research Online program. This milestone was achieved with a collaborative paper by Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute researcher Ben Hirsch and the Smithsonian’s National Zoo geneticist Jesus Maldonado.

This online repository of digital publications by Smithsonian staff represents a broad review of work done by researchers at the Institution, collecting nearly 2,000 publications each year. The Smithsonian Research Online program consists of two basic components: a list of publications authored by Smithsonian researchers and affiliates, and a corresponding digital repository that contains the article or chapter in electronic form. The electronic versions of peer-reviewed, scholarly journal articles are available to the worldwide research community because of indexing and search capabilities provided by the Repository in conjunction with scientific Web portals.

You can visit or access the Smithsonian Digital Repository for further information.
