Project poster

Students studying lighting design have limited opportunities to publish their work in an academic setting. Very few institutions publish theatrical design documentation as they are not considered student research in the traditional sense. This project sought to showcase how Institutional Repositories are a perfect solution for this publishing gap. The results included the publication of the design process work of an undergraduate student for three separate productions. Furthermore, Boise State University's Institutional Repository is now better equipped to support student research in the Arts & Humanities, allowing them to diversify their collections.
