MSU Library Digital Initiatives Services

MSU Library Digital Services supports the MSU Library mission and strategic goals with consulting services and designing and building browser accessible storage and retrieval applications for research and academic digital collections.

Digital Initiatives Projects can be large or small, working with a single individual, partnering with another department or group, or even working with multiple universities, colleges, or outreach learning institutions.

Digital collection objects can be in a variety of file formats to accommodate: static images, videos, audio recordings, text files, or research bibliographic citations.

MSU Library Digital Initiatives Project Examples

MSU Library Digital Initiatives Projects span a wide variety of digital collection types.

Projects typically include designing and building a web-interface application for accessing database records with content information about digital objects, and then delivering those objects to a variety of different browser tools from PCs to cell phones.

MSU Library Special Collections digital projects are one-of-a-kind research materials such as the personal papers on the development of rest-rotation by Gus Hormay, the historical photographs collections by Thomas Brook and James Schultz, and the bibliographic citations to historical architectural drawings.
