What is the ACG Sphere?

ACG Sphere is the institutional repository that The American College of Greece (ACG)  uses to store and display collective research output generated by students. It contains formally organized and managed collections of scholarly and creative work in digital format, and facilitates the preservation and dissemination of the work within not only the ACG community but also the worldwide community of scholars.
