Digital Scholarship
At Raynor Library, we help students and faculty use digital tools and methods to create and share knowledge in new, born-digital ways.
We provide fundamental infrastructure and expertise to support innovative scholarship like data visualization, digital mapping, digital collections, open education resources, digital storytelling, web publishing, and more!
Email the digital scholarship team at raynordms@marquette.edu for questions or more information.
Featured Project: Ex Libris: Bookplates from the Raynor Library Collections
Marquette University’s library has existed for more than a century. Through the years, many of the books that have come to rest on its shelves were already used—some with storied histories. Some of these secondhand books were donated by retiring Marquette faculty. Others came to the library during growth periods in the middle of the 20th century, when Marquette’s librarians bought whole collections from US and European booksellers.
