Supporting U.S. federal education and research

United States Coast Guard Academy:

The USCGA Research Dock showcases the scholarship and research produced by the Academy’s community, including journal articles, conference papers, and cadet capstone projects. In addition, it serves as a digital repository for preserving and providing access to the USCGA Library’s Archives and Special Collections. The Research Dock is maintained by the USCGA Library, ensuring long-term stewardship of these valuable resources.

USMA Athena is a secure digital service managed by the United States Military Academy Library to make the work of USMA scholars freely available, while also safeguarding and organizing these resources for the future. Its mission is to highlight the academic impact and intellectual capital that reflect the heritage of the Long Gray Line. Scholarship published in USMA Athena benefits from greater visibility and discoverability via Google Scholar, and persistent URLs ensure enduring access to the work over time.
