Creo is the institutional repository of SAE Institute Australia. Its purpose is to collect, preserve, and provide perpetual access to SAE Australasia's research, scholarship, creative works, and associated academic intellectual property.

What is the purpose and benefit of having an institutional repository?

• It provides 24/7 online access to SAE Institute Australasia’s intellectual outputs to local and global communities.
• It increases the global visibility of SAE Institute Australasia’s intellectual outputs on Google, Google Scholar and other search engines.
• It provides a location from which researchers, authors and creators may publish and make accessible their scholarly and creative works.
• It assists in meeting requirements mandated by many funding agencies around sponsored works and open-access archiving.
• It provides a location for the storage and sharing of learning and teaching materials used at SAE.

Who can contribute content to Creo?

Current and former SAE students, staff, and creative professionals affiliated with SAE can submit works for publication to the repository.

What material does Creo hold, and what can be deposited?

The current collection development priorities for Creo are:

• Faculty scholarly and creative works, including articles, lectures, presentations and performances, grey literature, books, book chapters, etc.;
• student scholarly and creative works, including project exemplar works and works completed and performed outside of the Institute;
• educational materials created for use within SAE courses;
• conference proceedings, special presentations, including master classes hosted, sponsored or affiliated with SAE Institute Australasia.

What rights do I give to SAE when I deposit materials in Creo?
