Course Reserves
The Digital Production Unit is a vital component of the Library's Affordable Learning initiatives. By digitizing and linking thousands of course materials each semester, Digital Production provides 24/7 access to text and streaming-media course materials through the Library's Course Reserves system.
The DPU also works in collaboration with eLearning to process media for streaming on faculty Blackboard pages.
Digital Production also processes faculty requests for books to be placed on physical reserve and makes them available for students to check out.
Digitization & Digital Reproduction
Through the work of Digital Production, the Library shares its collections of historical photographs, slides, negatives, text, and multimedia materials with a global audience. The DPU prepares these materials for inclusion in the Cleveland Memory Project and related digital resources.
By maintaining the Library's digital image archive and ensuring image quality and viability, the DPU also supports a digital reproduction service for Library images.
