The Future of Information @ Case - Digital Case

Have you explored Digital Case?

Digital Case is Case Western Reserve University's digital library, which archives, preserves and disseminates the intellectual output of research at Case in electronic formats, as well as collections of historical library materials that have been digitized. With Digital Case, the Kelvin Smith Library assumes an active role in the scholarly communication process, providing expertise in the form of a set of services for access, distribution and long-term preservation of Case's collective intellectual product.

After two years of development, Digital Case opened for business on August 22, 2006 with its first public release. In the first release digital collections that have been scattered throughout the Kelvin Smith Library web site are combined into the new Digital Case user interface, allowing for browsing, full-text searching, display and manipulation of images, downloadable PDF files for digitized books and more. The Digital Case team at KSL is working actively with faculty to collect research materials and other publications from schools and departments for long-term preservation in Digital Case.
