Special Projects

Examples of special projects that Digital Collections has helped create:

• Web design and hosting for faculty Laura Hein's Imagination Without Borders
• Image capturing and production for the Anatomy of Gender website
• Digitization of departmental slide collections

Some projects demand more time or resources than we typically provide through standard services. Special Projects are accepted to meet the unique needs of faculty, departments and graduate students requiring help with long term projects or in-depth work.

These can range from the digitization of an entire slide collection to the creation of a multimedia DVD with orginal content. Special projects can grow into a digital library project.

To learn more, please set up an appointment with Dan Zellner, Multi-media Specialist. For projects that require long term consideration as a Digital Library Project, Julie Patton will contact you for more information.
