DigitalCommons@ILR is a DigitalCommons project that offers electronic access to unique material that encompasses every aspect of the workplace. It is a service of the Martin P. Catherwood Library, School of Industrial and Labor Relations at Cornell University. Research and scholarly output included within the DigitalCommons@ILR has been selected and deposited by the individual departments, centers, institutes, and programs within the School of Industrial and Labor Relations (ILR).
DigitalCommons@ILR highlights the scholarship of the School’s faculty and researchers by making available their working papers, reports, conference presentations, journal articles, dissertations and theses, etc. The repository provides a single, easily navigable source and features customized email alerts, full text searches, and personalized saved searches.
In addition to the intellectual work of ILR faculty, DigitalCommons@ILR also houses collections of digital material selected by the reference librarians and archivists at Catherwood. These collections were created out of a growing concern over the loss of born digital materials and grey literature and the desire to ensure access to these resources for current and future students, faculty, and researchers.
Catherwood offers the repository as part of its ongoing mission to serve as a comprehensive information center in support of the research, instruction, and service commitments of the Industrial and Labor Relations School and Cornell community.
