For convenience, we have compiled here the previously noted Digital Records related to the Natural and Applied Sciences. We have elected to include on this page main highlights and frequently used records. The topic headings are live links that will redirect you to that subject's specific page on this guide and its section on Digital Records, so that you may view a more comprehensive list alongside the physical and related materials too.
Digital Records can be found in several locations, such as:
Faculty, staff, and graduate students can deposit their research and scholarship—unpublished and, in many cases, published—directly into IDEALS. Departments can use IDEALS to distribute their working papers, technical reports, or other research material.
IDEALS also includes all electronic theses and dissertations deposited from Fall 2010 onward."
Note: Searches through the Digital Library will also include records in IDEALS.
