College of Arts and Sciences faculty members are invited to apply for funding to create new digital content. The Grants Program for Digital Collections in Arts and Sciences is funded by the college and coordinated by Cornell University Library.
Proposals that fall within the scope of the grants programme include creating new digital collections of resources regularly used in teaching or research including lecture notes, slides, photographs, printed documents and manuscripts; digitising collections already held by Cornell that are instrumental to support learning, teaching and research; and converting materials held by other institutions to support teaching and research at Cornell - especially combining dispersed resources to create new and enriched ones.
The programme seeks to build a library of resources to support scholarly and teaching activities. Digital collections created through this grants programme will become part of Cornell Library's digital library. While April 12 is the deadline to express initial interest, proposals are due May 3, 2010. Awards will be announced at the end of May.
