Additional Information

Plans for Expansion & Future Directions:
In 2015, Emory Libraries started its Digital Library Program, a multi-year initiative to promote best practices and provide long term access to Emory's unique digital assets and collections. A key offering of the Program is to develop a versatile and feature-rich digital repository platform using the open source Samvera framework. We are now in the implementation phase of the initiative and will migrate five pilot collections in late 2019. We are also planning the ingest of our existing institutional repository, OpenEmory, as well as our ETD repository, Emory Theses and Dissertations, into the larger DLP platform, which will also include digital collections from Emory’s Stuart A. Rose Manuscript, Archives, and Rare Book Library among others. Emory Center for Digital Scholarship recently launched version 3 of its OpenTourBuilder for creating mobile walking, biking, and driving tours, and is launching new partnerships to publish tours publishing scholarship about Atlanta, Georgia, and beyond for use in teaching and by the general public. ECDS is launching version 2 of Readux this winter, a platform for publishing thematic research collections and scholarly editions of digitized books.
