The Rice Digital Scholarship Archive (RDSA) includes several collections that highlight works created by Fondren Library staff or as a result of Fondren-sponsored projects:
- Data Literacy Trainings
- Library Hosted Conferences
- Fondren Library Staff Presentations and Publications
As of today, there are 126 items in library-related collections, ranging in creation date 1995-2020. Items reflect the diverse work and interests of Fondren staff. Although a wide variety of works are welcome in the repository, presentations dominate Fondren staff collections. Presentations often include slides or posters presented at professional conferences.

In the coming year, Digital Scholarship Services staff hope to increase awareness of the collections among staff and encourage staff to deposit their work. We also hope to identify additional works created by the library that might be appropriate for deposit in the RDSA. A survey of other institutional repository library collections has already begun to learn what other types of works might be considered.
