[Scholarly Communication] 

The UC eScholarship Repository reached an important milestone in October -- the 2,000,000th full-text download from the repository.

This milestone represents accelerated use of the repository, which only reached the 1 million download mark 9 months ago, three years after launching. The repository, which is used by UC scholars and researchers in more than 200 academic departments systemwide, should reach another significant milestone before year's end -- 10,000 unique paper and article submissions.

The newest eScholarship service, the Postprints repository, allows UC faculty, where copyright permissions allow, to easily deposit previously published articles into a publicly accessible online repository. Also, beginning this month, the Postprints service supports submission of articles to the repository by author-assigned proxies.
