If you have questions about the Digital Media Repository:
The Digital Media Repository (DMR) serves as a platform to bring together the digital collections and activities of the University Libraries in a single, cohesive, and accessible Web-based environment that also provides access to external digital resources to support the educational process.
The collections included in the DMR mainly focus on local and university history, though not strictly. Many are unique, primary source items, from oral histories and historic maps, to photographs and scanned newspapers; the DMR includes a wide variety of types of content.
Since DMR items are freely available online, incorporating DMR content in assignments and projects is yet another way to reduce the cost of course materials for students.
