Digital Library Production Services (DLPS)
Digital Library Production Services (DLPS) was founded in 2001, and is charged with building a sustainable digital core collection in a cost-
effective, efficient manner. The department, part of Library Content Management Services, is an integral part of the operations of the Library,
but is not a public service unit. DLPS digitizes text, slides, photographs, microform, and maps, and will soon investigate the requirements for
statistical data, analog audio/visual, and other materials.
The mission for DLPS is to lead the efforts to amass a comprehensive digital collection befitting a world-class institution of higher learning.
This digital collection will have a unified point of access and state-of-the-art capabilities for search, display, and user customization. Extant
digital materials will be migrated into the Digital Library at the same time that new materials are created, purchased, and integrated. DLPS is
a central service, and the scope and scale of their mission requires careful consideration of long-term needs.
DLPS is located on the first floor of Alderman Library. DLPS does not accommodate direct-to-user digitizing services DLPS only provides
central digitizing services for the Library.
