The enduring goal of a university is to create and disseminate knowledge. Changes in technology offer opportunities for new forms of both creation and dissemination of scholarship through open access (OA). Open access publishing also offers opportunities for Emory University to fulfill its mission of creating and preserving knowledge in a way that opens disciplinary boundaries and facilitates sharing that knowledge more freely with the world.

On June 1, 2013, Emory University announced the launch of the Emory Center for Digital Scholarship (ECDS). The ECDS brings together four units currently housed in the Robert W. Woodruff Library: the Digital Scholarship Commons (DiSC), the Electronic Data Center, the Lewis H. Beck Center for Electronic Collections, and the Emory Center for Interactive Teaching (ECIT). These units have each collaborated with Emory scholars who wish to incorporate technology into their teaching and research. The formation of the ECDS will break down barriers between these functions and simplify the process of establishing partnerships with scholars. Expanding and strengthening support for open access, digital publishing is a top priority for the ECDS.
