Services for Researchers

Leddy Library’s Digital Scholarship and Preservation services offer a variety of options to assist with planning, developing, and supporting the preservation and mobilization of research as well as the management of digital assets. Our team features expertise in archival and digital preservation, digital access and storage, metadata creation, digital asset management, web-based exhibition strategies and software, and scholarly knowledge mobilization among other areas.

For further information, or to make an appointment to discuss our services related to your project, please contact Peter Zimmerman or Heidi Jacobs.

Services and Support

• Consultation about possible strategies for a range of projects
• Digital exhibits and discovery
• Digital preservation (Costs and fees related to large-scale and/or long-term digital preservation can also be included as part of grant budgets)
• Metadata consultation, including suggestions for best practices related to metadata to improve a project’s online searchability and discoverability
• Preliminary consultations at the early stages of grant writing for knowledge mobilization and preservation strategies
• Consultations on in-kind donations of knowledge mobilization, digital exhibitions, and digital preservation expertise and services that might be included in grant application budgets
• Assistance in determining what additional fees, costs, and expenses should be included in the grant budget for knowledge mobilization and preservation strategies

While Leddy Library provides consultation and, upon agreement, technical and consultative support for the above activities, it does not provide project management for grant-funded research projects. Primary Investigators remain responsible for all aspects of project management.
