Colby has a digital commons website that was created to house all of Colby's student research, as well as the research supported by faculty. Many honors theses are deposited there, as well as capstone reports and Colby Liberal Arts Symposium (CLAS) presentations. While Colby does not have a formal policy requiring open access to research, it is an option for all faculty, and the large majority of all student work is posted to the website.
