Q. Why should I deposit my work in the MSU IR?

Depositing your work in the MSU Institutional Repository benefits you, MSU, and the general public.

• Fulfill the requirements of your grant by ensuring free, open, perpetual access to your research.
• Store your teaching resources, such as syllabi, reading lists, and your own original open access articles and books, and distribute them to your classes and fellow educators.
• Enhance the visibility and reputation of your work and of MSU.
• Preserve your department's history by depositing organizational records, event brochures, faculty CVs, and more.
