GenderOpen in a New Design – Relaunch Completed

Screenshot of the homepage of the GenderOpen repository. In the top left corner, the logo “Gender Open Repositorium” is displayed. At the center, a large banner reads “Geschlechterforschung entdecken” (“Discover Gender Research”) with a short description of GenderOpen’s services. Below it, a yellow button says “Mehr Informationen im GenderOpen-Blog” (“More information on the GenderOpen blog”). On the right side of the image, there is a black-and-white historical photo showing three persons cleaning and placing books into a shelf.

After a comprehensive relaunch, GenderOpen now presents itself in a modernized design and with enhanced functionalities. In addition to a clearer and more intuitive search, contributions can now be filtered more easily by subject, author, or publication type. This further facilitates access to several thousand freely available texts in gender studies.

Following the relaunch, GenderOpen now runs on DSpace 8.2. The relaunch was carried out in collaboration with The Library Code and the Working Group on Electronic Publishing at the University Library of Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, as part of the GenderOpen project of the Berlin University Alliance.

A more detailed post on the relaunch has been published on the Toolbox Gender and Diversity in Teaching blog.
