Research Data Archiving and Support Services: The University Libraries can provide a variety of IT-related support, including long-term web hosting, web design, user interface development, programming, database design, data management, and long term archiving of research data. Examples of collaborative initiatives include the Anne Finch Project, Holocaust Education Research and Outreach, the Digital Library on American Slavery, and the Literary Map of North Carolina. We are always happy to sit down and discuss ideas and options. Faculty interested in significant Library IT support for a project should apply for a Digital Partners grant
