BDEARS Mission

1. BDEARS is a set of collections and related services that together constitute the University institutional repository. 
2. BDEARS aims to complement traditional scholarly publishing. 
3. The BDEARS service preserves and provides persistent and reliable access to the digital works of academics, staff, and students to give them the greatest possible recognition. 
4. BDEARS centralizes the twin goals of access and preservation, as do other institutional repositories, to provide the maximal University commitment towards achieving these ends.

BDEARS is a service offered through and sponsored by the University Library.
