Rebecca Kennison and Sarah Shreeves argued last year in the Journal of
Librarianship and Scholarly Communication that shifting the primary purpose
of the IR from green open access to the provision of persistent and

research institution can mean a “vibrant, well used, and well understood
system.” * Usage statistics confirm that the global audience visiting
Academic Commons is interested in student work.*
