Niner Commons is the institutional repository at UNC Charlotte. It supports the collection, preservation, and discovery of scholarly materials, including journal articles, theses, dissertations, and research reports. By moving to TIND IR, UNC Charlotte gains a fully hosted and managed platform that ensures long-term security and reliability. The modern, cloud-based solution streamlines submission workflows and improves search functionality, making their growing collection of nearly 30,000 records easier to find, access, and cite.
