Area description
What We Do: We maintain and grow library collections so that users can find the materials that support their learning and research. Our work includes:
- Purchasing all materials in the Library’s collection ensuring diverse information resources reflecting a broad range of scholarship
- Overseeing the Libraries’ collections budget
- Borrowing materials that we don’t own from other libraries via Interlibrary Loan
- Monitoring the scholarly communications ecosystem
- Sustaining national partnerships bolstering shared collections amongst research libraries
- Managing the description of all materials in Virgo, the library’s online catalog, and keeping our shelves organized
- Digitizing rare and fragile materials so they are available online
- Negotiating license agreements so access to e-journals, databases, and e-books are available 24/7
- Managing Libra Open, Libra DATA & LibraETD so UVA produced scholarship and data is discoverable and accessible.
- Educating faculty and students about copyright issues so they can control their intellectual capital.
- Maintaining an open access publishing platform supporting unfettered access to research and scholarship
