Digitizing World Christianity–Divinity School Library Endeavors The Divinity Library is engaged in four grant-funded projects to digitize portions of its Day Missions Collection. The Day Missions Collection, founded by Yale professor George Edward Day in 1891, consists of books, periodicals, pamphlets, reports, photographs, and archival collections that document the missionary movement and world Christianity. Largest of the current initiatives is an NEH-funded effort to digitize 350,000 pages of annual reports and periodicals from the collection. This project, which continues work begun in 2010 with Arcadia funds, is among the collections currently being ingested via Ladybird into the new Yale University Library Digital Collections repository.

Yale University Library Debuts EliScholar: A Repository Showcasing Yale Scholarship Last summer saw the soft launch of EliScholar, Yale University Library's institutional repository. The purpose of an institutional repository is to freely display and archive faculty and student research in a variety of formats. The creation of EliScholar is important in that it supports the University's mission "to create, preserve and disseminate knowledge". Highlighting faculty publications, student research, conference proceedings, monographs, and open access journals is just one component of EliScholar. Anyone in the world can freely access materials that are created by Yale departments, schools, centers or institutes and are hosted in EliScholar. The institutional repository makes content more visible and highly discoverable by search engines such as Google and Google Scholar which is beneficial for professors and graduate students. It also provides researchers with an easy way to keep up with Yale scholarship. Read more... |
