Digital Scholarship

The Digital Initiatives & Special Collections division of University Libraries helps scholars publish, access, create, and use scholarship through alternative and traditional means.

Our goal is to help you disseminate your work, increase your research impact, and promote accessibility in all fields of scholarship. We also offer consultations on copyright issues, publication agreements, author’s rights, fair use in the classroom, digital humanities projects, open educational resources, Creative Commons licenses, and more.
