Integrating UCF STARS into Your Courses
STARS (Showcase of Text, Archives, Research & Scholarship) is UCF Libraries’ institutional repository, offering free access to scholarly creative works by the UCF community. Faculty can enhance their courses by linking to student theses, faculty publications, conference presentations, data sets, open educational resources (OER), and more. Integrating STARS supports open access, showcases discipline-specific research, and provides students with real-world examples of academic work. It’s an excellent tool for encouraging scholarly engagement, research skill development, and demonstrating the impact of UCF scholarship.
The Pegasus Innovation Lab has worked with the UCF Libraries to create digital repositories on STARS containing photos and videos from Online Abroad experiences.
