GENERAL SUMMARY:

We envision an interoperable digital library which integrates
information resources with instruction and research, and a digital
archive which ensures the persistence and usability of these resources
over time. 

The Digital Library Development Center collaborates with librarians,
faculty, university departments and other groups, and colleagues at
other institutions, to develop and maintain networked information
systems for use today, and to ensure the long-term preservation of
information resources delivered through these systems for continued
availability in the future. 
Our core activities include designing, building, and maintaining web
sites, dynamic information resources, and digital collections;
installing and supporting vended systems that provide access to
information resources; administering the network of information server
computers which underlie our digital library and which support related
initiatives on campus; researching, evaluating, and implementing new
technologies; participating in national and international digital
library initiatives; and documenting and sharing procedures, policies,
and discoveries. 

Development work has included archives and manuscripts finding aids
databases (XML, XQuery), online digital collections (XML, XSLT, PHP,
MySQL, HTML, Javascript, CSS), and administrative databases (PHP,
MySQL). 

See Digital Library Collections and Activities,
