About eScholarship@UMMS

eScholarship@UMMS is a digital repository offering worldwide access to the research and scholarly work of the University of Massachusetts Medical School community. The goal is to bring together the University's scholarly output, in full text whenever possible, in order to enhance its visibility and accessibility. We help individual researchers and departments organize and publicize their research beyond the walls of the Medical School, archiving publications, posters, presentations and other materials they produce in their scholarly pursuits.

eScholarship@UMMS is administered and maintained by the Lamar Soutter Library. For more information about eScholarship@UMMS, see the FAQ or contact at the Lamar Soutter Library.
