Welcome to Fondren Library’s new Digital Scholarship Services blog!  Digital Scholarship Services (DSS) partners with Rice faculty, students and staff to advance research, teaching and creative expression in the digital age, offering expertise and access to facilities and tools. Our work is wide-ranging, including:

• We showcase the intellectual vitality of the university by managing the Rice Digital Scholarship Archive.
• We assist in planning and implementing scholarly digital projects.
• We provide training and consulting in the use of digital tools for education and research.
• We provide support for scholarly communications, including consulting on copyright and open access.
• We help to support using, managing and preserving research data.

We hope that this blog will serve as a useful tool for DSS staff to share recent work with library colleagues, the Rice community, and the digital scholarship community more broadly. Readers are encouraged to comment and to contact DSS (cds@rice.edu) for additional information about specific projects.
