About Us
Digital Collections Services (DCS) fosters and supports the creation, curation, discovery and preservation of digital special collections for IU Libraries. Our team consults with units on all IU campuses interested in digitizing, preserving and exposing their special collections online. We provide digital library services for IUL and partner units including access to workflows and tools for the creation, curation, preservation, and publication of digital content.
DCS staff have expertise in digital project planning and management, digital library repository and publishing platforms, digitization of image- and time-based materials, metadata, and digital preservation. We are able to provide limited consultation to faculty, staff and students in any of these areas.
