NC DOCKS is a cooperative institutional repository (IR) that was created to make the scholarly output of the University of North Carolina System more available to the world. UNC Asheville has recently become a member of NC DOCKS, joining our NC institutional participants Appalachian State University, East Carolina University, North Carolina School of Science and Mathematics, UNC Charlotte, UNC Greensboro, UNC Pembroke, UNC Wilmington, and Western Carolina University.
