On September 15, 2009, the Center for Digital Research and Scholarship (CDRS) opened its new office on the 200 level of Lehman Library, inside the International Affairs Building at 410 West 118th Street.
CDRS was previously located downtown at 330 Fifth Avenue. The Center’s staff includes Video, Usability Research, Production, Digital Initiatives, and Scholarly Communication Program teams, all of which are now housed in the new Lehman space.
Created in 2007 to support the Columbia research community, CDRS provides a suite of services. Offerings include online hosting and software development for scholarly journals, conferences, and monographs; online collaboration spaces for research groups (Wikischolars); Columbia’s research repository, Academic Commons; and video services for research events.
Interested faculty, staff, researchers, and scholars are welcome to visit the new office for more information. An open house will be held on Monday, October 19, 2009, at which visitors can try out software and browse the Center’s projects and services.
