Digital Initiatives at the UW Libraries help foster, create, and preserve open data, research, digital collections, and scholarship at the University of Wyoming. Initiatives are handled by two separate, but collaborative groups, DIVE (Digital Inquiry, Visualization, and Exploration) and the Digital & Distinctive Collections units.
The Digital Inquiry, Visualization, and Exploration (DIVE) team supports digital scholarship, data, and innovative technologies at UW Libraries. DIVE provides services, instruction, and research support in areas such as research data management, digital storytelling, computing, digital humanities, and multimedia creation through the Digital Scholarship Center and Studio Coe. DIVE also manages the Wyoming Data Repository (WDR) in collaboration with the Advanced Research Computing Center.
The Digital & Distinctive Collections unit primarily works with collections, both in print and digital formats. It is comprised of the Emmett D. Chisum Special Collections unit and the Digital Collections unit. It routinely performs digitization of print collections which are available in the Wyoming Digital Newspaper Collection and the WyoDigital collections repository. The unit also coordinates open access publishing on the OJS platform and the WyoScholar Institutional Repository.
Faculty and staff are happy to consult and work with the University of Wyoming community on a variety of projects.
