University of Memphis

The University of Memphis Libraries received a grant to support the development of the University of Memphis Code Library, an innovative and scalable resource for the perpetual and permanent management of code created by members of the University of Memphis community. Responding to a previous lack of standardized attempts to archive code generated within academic communities, the project aims to create a resource through which scholarly standards, practices, and methodologies can be documented and archived. The project also encourages the expansion of coding into the core competencies of other disciplines by creating a discipline-neutral repository under the management of the university library.
