Get Published: Task Six: Post and Promote Your Work!

So you’ve spent a lot of time researching, writing, and publishing your scholarship.  Wouldn’t it be nice if someone read it?  The final task of Hunter Library's Get Published series focuses on posting your work to the institutional repository (NC DOCKS), which is as easy as sending an email, and the various methods for promoting your work.
