The Digital Library is a joint project between Syracuse University Libraries Digital Library and the IVMF Research & Analytics Team. This unique cross-campus collaboration between the Libraries, the IVMF, and the iSchool has seen over 15 graduate and undergraduate students engaged in conversations with IVMF researchers and stakeholders on topics such as metadata application, collection development, accessibility, cultural competence, and user experience.

 

Today, the Library Support Team consists of one embedded librarian from the Digital Library and a team of two students. Their bios can be found below.

The build and maintenance of the IVMF Digital Library would not be possible without the tireless work of the students engaged on this project. Yet, being a "student employee" has a lifecycle and thus, as our students move on to bigger and better things, we want to acknowledge the time and effort they contributed to this Digital Library.
