Digital Collections: Institutional Repository

About Minds@UW

Minds@UW serves as Murphy Library's Institutional Repository and is a powerful tool for accessing scholarly output from across the UW System. Each campus has the choice to participate by contributing content that is produced from its respective students, staff, faculty. UWL is a participating campus and we have set up a number of collections, which can be accessed directly below. All content is free to everyone and all items in Minds@UW have a catalog record that appears in our library catalog (Search@UW). All content is hosted at UW-Madison and is stored in perpetuity on its servers. Whereas Murphy Library Digital Collection focuses more on visual materials of historic relevance or significance, the content in Minds@UW is generally more related to scholarly output such as studies, theses, and dissertations. Murphy Library continues to content on a regular basis to Minds@UW.
