The University of Central Florida’s STARS repository has supported and curated the scholarship and creative works of UCF faculty, students, and staff. With the time constraint of grant funding and a large, multicampus university, it became STARS’ mission to better support the unique content being produced by the UCF community.

Lee Dotson, Digital Initiatives Librarian at the University of Central Florida, shares the philosophies and practicalities that have propelled STARS to sustainable success, including:
- Building a repository team
- Engaging campus users
- Supporting a wide variety of content types
- Leveraging repository features
