Metadata Services and Digital Projects (MSDP) provides a wide array of services to assist members of the University of Oregon community with organizing collections of materials or making them more widely available. Contact us if you need help:

• designing a digital project;
• creating digital or photographic reproductions of materials;
• creating posters or exhibits;
• choosing an appropriate metadata schema, subject list, or classification system;
• evaluating software to help organize and provide access to materials;
• caring for and preserving digital or print materials;
• determining appropriate security and use policies for your collections;
• providing access to your collections through the the Libraries' catalogs, or;
• developing grant proposals related to any of the above topics.

Metadata Services and Digital Projects also maintains the University of Oregon's Scholars' Bank, an online archive of the scholarly output of the campus community. Contact the Scholars' Bank Coordinator if you have questions about Scholars' Bank.

In addition to these direct public services, Metadata Services and Digital Projects provides intellectual, virtual and physical access to the Libraries' collections. We maintain the online public access catalog for traditional library materials and a catalog of digital collections. We preserve the physical collections through microfilming, digitizing, and carrying out book repair and conservation. We define policies and procedures necessary to provide responsive, high-quality patron access to an ever-growing array of materials available through traditional and emerging systems. To this end, we endeavor to build strong partnerships within the Libraries, on campus, and regionally and to contribute with increasing effectiveness to local, regional, and international metadata and preservation efforts.
