The Digital Publishing Unit of the DeWitt Wallace Library supports the creation, management, and dissemination of local digital- born scholarship in various formats. Essential to supporting this mission is the continuing exploration of evolving creation, collaboration, and publication tools; encoding methods; and development of staff skills and facility resources. The Unit serves the digital scholarship and electronic publishing needs through development of digital scholarship projects as well as open access online distribution of journals, articles, and conference proceedings. The Library is committed to playing an active role in the changing landscape of scholarly publishing and supports the ideals of the open access movement.
