EPAGE@Tech, a GT library-managed service, will provide a digital platform to disseminate GT-produced knowledge rapidly to information users at any time, in any Internet-ready location they reside, and will preserve that knowledge digitally for future learners to come.

Why is EPAGE@Tech important?

• Georgia Tech should manage and preserve its own intellectual output
• Research indicates increased citation impact for research available freely online
• Granting agencies increasingly tend to require open access archiving or long term posting of research outcomes (i.e. NSF, NIH)
• Hosted scholarly materials are easily discoverable through commercial search engines like Google Scholar and Scirus

Endorsement:

"ITID is the first and only MIT Press journal to be published as Open Access and our collaboration with the Georgia Tech Library has been critical to the journal successfully managing this new publication model. The Library's support and leadership is ensuring that ITID will have more impact, a richer and more collaborative online environment, and will be better able to serve a world-wide epistemic community. The entire ITID team - including the editorial office, the MIT Press, and the Georgia Tech Library - will together help define the future of scholarly publication.”
