The DePaul University Library Digital Scholarship Group is an interdisciplinary team drawn from several library departments. We partner with faculty, students, and staff at DePaul University and beyond to advance creative expression, teaching, learning, and research in the digital age. We showcase and preserve DePaul scholarly works for the long-term using our institutional repository, assist in planning and implementing scholarly digital projects, and provide training and consulting in the use of digital tools for education and research.
