The beta site for DASH

Stuart M. Shieber, director of HUL’s Office for Scholarly Communication (OSC), reports that a limited-access beta of OSC’s open-access repository is now viewable online at http://dash.harvard.edu.

Access to the repository site, “Digital Access to Scholarship at Harvard,” or DASH, is currently limited to users at Harvard IP addresses. However, anyone at Harvard can register with and log in to DASH.

During the beta period, the ability to deposit scholarly articles is being phased in with some departments serving as beta testers. As of this writing, only the FAS faculty in linguistics and in the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences are participating in the beta test.

The beta test will continue through the fall with the rest of FAS and HLS added over time. Further details will be announced in Library Notes and on HULINFO.

Librarians are asked to refer any questions from faculty members to the OSC at This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it or 5-4089.
