The Library has a long history of fostering innovation in the application of digital methods to address scholarly questions, and it continues to give leadership in this burgeoning area of theory and practice. By strengthening its technological infrastructure, augmenting staff expertise, and aligning its efforts to meet academic needs driven by Brown’s priorities and the evolving scholarly landscape, the Library will grow as a center for research and learning in which Brown faculty and students collaborate with specialist library staff to discover and advance knowledge in the digital world. Initial operational goals are:
- Align with the University’s Digital Strategy
- Clarify the Center for Digital Scholarship’s priorities and elevate its visibility, programs, and services
- Improve the Brown Digital Repository
- Facilitate faculty Open Access policy
