What other big digitization projects is the U.Va. Library involved in?
We were among the early participants in the Open Content Alliance, the Internet Archive, and the Digital Library Federation’s Aquifer. We also we routinely participate in grant projects with other institutions, such as the “American West” project with the California Digital Library. In addition, the U.Va. Library is one of the five library participants in the CLOCKSS project, a joint project of libraries and more than 15 major publishers to determine a model for preserving electronic journals. We believe that the future of research libraries is collaboration so we can ensure broad access to and preservation of world knowledge. The U.Va. Library is an active participant in that future.
