In a partnership with central NYU IT Services, DLTS offers an institutional repository to manage and disseminate materials created by the NYU research community. In this repository scholars can store multiple and different kinds of digital content such as texts, audio, video, images, and datasets. This allows faculty to, for example, associate research data, presentations, and supporting files with academic papers. The FDA allows scholars and departments to reliably archive their work without having to concern themselves with the technology and its administration. Because most materials are made widely accessible, this archive can increase the visibility of a scholar’s work and provides a permanent link for citation. Scholars can therefore use the digital archive to quickly “pre-publish” materials, either to the world at large, or to a select group of colleagues for collaboration.
Faculty Digital Archive
The Faculty Digital Archive is a highly visible repository of NYU scholarship, allowing digital works — text, audio, video, data, and more — to be reliably shared and securely stored.
