Access Services

In order to ensure that research collections are both accessible to and usable by scholars and the general public, the Public Knowledge program funds a broad range of projects at universities, archives, and independent research libraries. Current priorities are to assist academic libraries in:

• Diversifying staff and developing data curation and other innovative services
• Diversifying collections available for scholarly and public research by supporting community-based archives
• Digitizing and exposing hidden primary source collections
• Supporting innovative technologies, such as linked open data
