FIU Libraries as Publisher
At Florida International University (FIU), the libraries’ publishing endeavors focus on digital media.
Students and faculty publish a wide array of materials through Digital Commons, FIU’s Institutional Repository (IR).
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
The ETD Collection is a collaborative publishing effort between the FIU Libraries and the University Graduate School. Together, they accept, process and publish final copies of students’ theses and dissertations.
