Our Vision
Digital Scholarship supports the scholarly activity at Colgate University that takes advantage of digital tools and methods. This work includes creating opportunities for new forms of collaborative work, new forms of publication, and visualizing and analyzing data.
We believe that the support and creation of successful digital scholarship is contingent upon the integration of technologies, pedagogies, and partnerships.
