SelectedWorks Profiles Migrating to ‘Georgia Southern Scholars’ this Summer and Fall

Elsevier is sunsetting all SelectedWorks profiles on December 31, 2024, after which Georgia Southern’s SelectedWorks Profiles and content will no longer be accessible. In response, the GS Libraries are migrating all Georgia Southern affiliated SelectedWorks profiles to the Elsevier Pure platform this summer and fall. The new platform will be called Georgia Southern Scholars. For more information and updates, see here.

If you have any questions or concerns about this change, email digitalcommons@georgiasouthern.edu.
