Virginia Center for Digital Initiatives

The University of Virginia Library is building a distributed and flexible technology infrastructure that enhances access, manipulation, storage, distribution, and integration of information and services throughout the University of Virginia. The scope of the Digital Initiatives includes digital collections from UVa and elsewhere, metadata standards to describe those collections, a Central Digital Repository to store and manage files, indexing and retrieval tools, and tools to effectively use the collections in teaching and research. The vision for the Digital Initiatives come in part from the work of a series of committees that participated in the Library of Tomorrow (LofT) planning process in 2001, meant to guide the five-year program to transform the traditional library into the model university research library for the twenty-first century.
