DigitalCommons@Cedarville 2021-2022 Annual Report

2021-2022 ANNUAL REORT 15 Additional Highlights of 2021-2022 Once again, DigitalCommons@Cedarville’s event structure was utilized to facilitate the Research and Scholarship Symposium. Students and faculty submitted their proposals through the Digital Commons, and the review process built into the system was used by the organizing committee to evaluate each proposal. Major projects this year included the digitization of reel-to-reel and audiocassette tapes of the chapel addresses of Dr. James T. Jeremiah and Dr. Paul H. Dixon and preparing accompanying transcripts, digitization of Public Relations office photographs from the 1950s-1970s, managing the loss of the Ensemble media service by downloading files and then uploading them to the Digital Commons, and participating in beta testing of bepress’s new Exhibit Solution. There are now 12 academic programs archiving capstone projects in the Digital Commons. In conjunction with the Department of Communication’s Professional Writing and Information Design program, the Digital Commons launched a new interdisciplinary journal for undergraduate research by Cedarville students titled Channels: Where Disciplines Meet in the fall of 2016. We published two issues this academic year, Fall 2021 and Spring 2022. The 48 articles that have been published so far have been downloaded over 48,800 times. A new journal, Education Insights, was added this year, but has not yet published its first issue. Cedrus Press published one book this year, A Christian Guide to Body Stewardship, Diet, and Exercise by Dr. David Peterson, Dr. Jeremy Kimble, and Dr. Trent Rogers.
