Students Can Now Voluntarily Deposit their Dissertation or Theses in Academic Commons

Stony Brook University Libraries has a new dissertations and theses collection policy and practice, which can be found at https://library.stonybrook.edu/about-us/policies-documents/.  Starting this semester graduating students are encouraged to deposit an open access copy of their dissertation or thesis in its institutional repository Academic Commons. Submission to Academic Commons is optional. Note that official submissions of dissertation and theses must go through the Graduate School.
