What would you like to offer next?
The library is currently working on expanding our support for data needs, including data management plans, how to organize data, how to meet NIH Data Management and Sharing requirements, and working with the university to look at options for large data storage and preservation. We’re also developing out support for digital preservation more broadly with a review of our IR and Digital Collections. We’re expanding support for AR/VR, including more technical support for faculty research. We’re beginning discussions about what types of digital services beyond traditional digital humanities approaches might be better co-located on campus, including support for multi-modal production.
