USpace now has the capability to archive research posters created by students and faculty at the UofU in a media-rich format. Posters in USpace may now include embedded audio and video, PowerPoint slides, PDF or Word documents, and Web links.
Today’s article, then, is a research poster. It’s a poster created to highlight a class for researchers and other creators here at the U, called Publishing SMART: How to Make your Article Visible. The aim of the class is to help scholars achieve the most impact for their publications through the publishing and archiving choices they make.
We spend all this time creating digital collections – is anyone really interested? I would be ashamed if someone found an old poster that I created back in my college days. I probably misspelled something and I wouldn’t get a job because of it. When is too much information TOO MUCH?
