At UMass Amherst, Marilyn Billings works with university administration and faculty to publish the University's community engagement research, providing a central location for documenting the university’s eligibility for the Carnegie Elective Classification in Community Engagement. Marilyn will discuss how they’ve developed these regional, community-oriented IR collections, the role of the IR collections in gaining grants and supporting continued research, and the benefits that open-access to such scholarship brings to the local community.
