It takes a village: Collaboratively building a cross-disciplinary digital repository

Abstract

Middlebury College is engaged in a collaborative effort between librarians, ITS, and faculty to define, plan, and implement a digital preservation and access system that answers the varied needs across multiple disciplines. We discussed the challenges, strategies, and insights encountered throughout this process, including our participation in DLF’s eResearch Network. Our slides are available, as well.
