Introduction

The goals of the Carolina Digital Library and Archives are to:

• Develop strategies to improve Web access to informational, intellectual, and cultural resources in all formats
• Create or assume responsibility for the Library's digital assets that support instruction and research at UNC and those of the University's institutional repository
• Devise sustainable operations for programs and projects that can accommodate large-scale digitization as well as long-term management and preservation of digital resources
• Investigate, recommend, and implement technologies to advance innovations in research and scholarship within a networked environment
• Provide scholars, students, librarians, and interested members of the general public with new Web-based technological resources, services, and tools.
• Increase the role of the CDLA as a center of advice and consultancy to faculty on the development and management of digital projects and programs.
• Support other libraries, archives, and related cultural institutions , especially in North Carolina, with digital technologies and services
• Collaborate with other institutions, programs, and projects—both at UNC and elsewhere—to advance these goals.
