About Creo

Creo is an SAE University College Library service whose purpose is to collect, preserve, and provide perpetual access to the College’s research, scholarship, creative works, and associated academic intellectual property.

Creo:

  • provides 24/7 online access to SAE University College's intellectual outputs to local and global communities;
  • increases the global visibility of SAE University College's intellectual outputs on Google, Google Scholar and other search engines;
  • provides a location from which researchers, authors and creators may publish and make accessible their scholarly and creative works. It assists in meeting requirements mandated by many funding agencies around sponsored works and open-access archiving; and
  • provides a location for the storage and sharing of learning and teaching materials used at SAE.

Submissions to Creo are facilitated via online submission or by contacting SAE University College Library personnel when online submission for a publication is unavailable. Candidature for deposit includes staff scholarly and creative works; student scholarly and creative works; College published materials such as conference proceedings and lectures; and educational materials used in learning and teaching at SAE.

The current collection development priorities for Creo are:

  • Staff scholarly and creative works, including articles, lectures, presentations and performances, grey literature, books, book chapters, etc.;
  • student scholarly and creative works, including project exemplar works, and works completed and performed outside of the College;
  • educational materials for use within SAE courses;
  • conference proceedings and special presentations hosted by SAE University College.
