Digital Initiatives Division, Content Acquisition and Digital Initiatives Program (CADI)

The UC San Diego Library’s Digital Initiatives Division facilitates the collaborative creation, management, delivery, and long-term preservation of digital assets in support of the Library’s mission and goals. We coordinate staff with expertise in format knowledge, digital reformatting and metadata creation and transformation. The Digital Initiatives Division is also supported by the Digital Library Steering Group, a leadership group that more broadly coordinates digital collections and exhibits along with the investment and strategic direction of the supporting infrastructure.

Digital Collections

The UC San Diego Library Digital Collections website is a public search and discovery interface that currently features over 120,000 digital objects, including documents, photographs, audio, video, and data sets, which reflect a range of materials collected, managed, and preserved by the Library to support teaching, learning and research.

Content has been drawn from across the Library’s collections with strengths in the areas of Baja California, Melanesia, Oceanography, and UC San Diego history. The Digital Collections also contain research data gathered by campus researchers and supported by the Research Impact Program. The Digital Collections website represents only a fraction of the materials available in the UC San Diego Library. More content will be available over time.

Access to select digital collections is made freely accessible to the UC San Diego community (faculty, staff and students) and the public via the Digital Collections website. There are two different states to the Digital Collections: a public view and a UC San Diego IP Restricted Access view. Because of copyright restrictions, fair use, or licensing agreements, some digitized materials are restricted to UC San Diego IP access only.

For more information, read the Digital Collections FAQ or Libguide. If you have any questions about access or the copyright status of a collection, please email [email protected].

Technical Architecture

The UC San Diego Library Digital Asset Management System (DAMS) is designed to store and manage the digital assets of UC San Diego.It is developed collaboratively with other UC partners through Project Surfliner. It is built using the Samvera open source repository platform. To learn more about our technical architecture including the data model and technical diagram, go to Digital Assest Management System. Additional information about the metadata management within the DAMS, such as mappings, standards, requirements, and best practices are available as well.

Historical information about the program, our technical infrastructure, and recent activities are available under Publications and Presentations.
