The Carolina Digital Repository (CDR) provides long-term access and safekeeping for scholarly works, datasets, research materials, records, and audiovisual materials produced by the UNC-Chapel Hill community.  The CDR currently supports:

• Relationships with other repositories.  UNC has built a relationship with BioMed Central to automatically ingest content authored by UNC researchers who only have to deposit their works once.
• Embargo.  The CDR supports the attachment of an embargo with any future date to a work.  Visitors can see that the document exists but cannot download it until the embargo has passed.
• Preservation.  The CDR creates multiple copies of an object and monitors them over time to ensure long-term health.
• Indexing/discovery.  The CDR promotes discovery of works both within the software and via external indexing sites such as Google, Yahoo, and Bing.

If you are interested in depositing materials in the CDR, email richarlm@email.unc.edu and the repository staff will contact you with further detail. 

Mendeley is a free reference management system that allows you to collect, manage, cite, create groups, and share research. You can add documents to your research library, make annotations to PDFs and later, using the included add-on, cite the references while writing. Online storage allows you to automatically back up and synchronize your library across desktop, web and mobile versions. Mendeley works with Microsoft Word and insert citations into research papers and create bibliographies from the citations.
