Per our mission statement, the "ASU Library is the gateway to the ASU educational enterprise, and thus a critical partner in realizing the New American University mission, of which success is measured not by whom it excludes, but by whom it includes and how they succeed." As a partner in the research lifecycle, ASU Library's KEEP digital repository helps the university achieve its mission of becoming a leading global center for interdisciplinary research, discovery and development, by providing a secure place for research outputs to be collated, stewarded, and preserved for long term access. As such, KEEP is home to scholarly materials that support, engage and inspire the Arizona State University community.
Members of the ASU community are encouraged to sign in to access additional content that may not be publicly available.
