Abstract
Academic libraries have the opportunity and the responsibility to promote and advance content that creates transformative and iterative learning opportunities. To that end, and in an effort to build communities and facilitate co-creation, Portland State University showcases three main Featured Collections in our open access repository, PDXScholar: Climate Justice, COVID-19, and Racial and Gender Equity, with a fourth pilot collection—Student Work: An Open Showcase of Outstanding Student-Created Research & Creative Work—under development. The collections include a broad range of audiovisual materials, such as podcasts and webinar series, as well as sustainability and equity work, student-created content, and numerous future-focused multidisciplinary counter stories. By showcasing interdisciplinary projects and minority faculty scholarship, we provide a platform that helps elucidate complex problems like climate change, public health challenges, systemic racism, and student retention from a range of perspectives. Our Featured Collections program provides an example of how institutional repositories might be reorganized to spark ideas, ignite discoveries, and accelerate change.
