IRIS Research
This new unit in Instruction, Research, and Information Services (IRIS) was established in July 2002 as a focal point for Library research that builds upon the well-established digital imaging and preservation research program of DIPPR and extends the scope of library research topics.
Project
Harvest
Project Harvest was one of seven planning projects funded by the Andrew
W. Mellon Foundation to explore e-journal archiving issues. The Subject-Based
Digital Archive (SBDA) Model resulted from an exploration of the subject-based

unit is exploring the broader implications and potential of the SBDA model.
