The DSS Mission Statement

A Philosophy of Sharing

We have populated a Documentation Library that includes step-by-step instructions for DSS workflows and processes.

We invite you to visit our Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) Archive, where we have saved the agreements we've entered into with our clients. These agreements have formed the basis for our digital publishing projects.

A Philosophy of Collaboration

Many of our projects are a result of a collaborations, both within the library and across campus. If you've got an idea for a collaborative project, and want to know more about what type of support we may be able to provide in order to help you realize your vision, we invite you to contact us or pay us a visit! We are located on Level Five of the J. Willard Marriott Library in the southeast quadrant.
