About Digital Initiatives

The Digital Initiatives Department leads the library's efforts to create, manage, and share digital collections while expanding access to information resources through innovative digital platforms. Our team champions digital humanities initiatives, supporting faculty and students in exploring new methods of research, storytelling, and scholarly communication. We work to digitize important materials, develop digital projects, and implement new technologies that enhance the user experience and support the evolving needs of digital scholarship. Through our focus on digital storytelling, podcast production, digital research methods, and website administration, we help the campus community engage with scholarship in creative and meaningful ways. We also collaborate directly with classes to produce digital projects that showcase student learning and research.
