Texas ScholarWorks (TSW), formerly University of Texas Digital Repository (UTDR), holds digital works and provides related services that together constitute a campus institutional repository. TSW was established to provide open, online access to the products of the University’s research and scholarship, to preserve these works for future generations, to promote new models of scholarly communication, and to help deepen community understanding of the value of higher education. Digital works include research and scholarship, as well as works that reflect the intellectual and service environment of the campus.
