Digital Library Program
The Digital Library Program at Loyola Marymount University is a comprehensive digital library that explores and presents digital objects from all facets of the library collections. The DLP helps to create an enhanced learning and research environment for all within the Loyola Marymount University community by creating persistent digital objects that are of high quality and meet or exceed currently accepted technological standards. It supports the university's mission by fostering access to research and knowledge materials. Additionally, the program fosters a collaborative environment that supports the educational, instructional and cultural needs of the community by partnering with other institutions and joining projects that extend the digital reach of the library.
There are currently two facets of the Digital Library Program: the Digital Collections and the Digital Commons at Loyola Marymount University and Loyola Law School Scholarship Repository.
The Digital Collections showcase materials from the department of Archives and Special Collections. Digitization is a value-added way of making library collections and materials available to anyone with an internet connection, around the world, around the clock. Peruse historic postcards, learn more about the history of Catholicism in Los Angeles, and explore the American West in the Owens Valley of California from 1875 to 1930.

Digital Commons at Loyola Marymount University and Loyola Law School is an initiative of the William H. Hannon Library and the William M. Rains Library. The repository serves faculty and institutional interests by collecting, organizing, preserving, and disseminating faculty scholarship and creative works in a digital, open-access environment. This initiative is consistent with the library's archival role and responsibility in preserving publications and other artifacts documenting the university's history and the activities of its faculty, students, staff, and administrators. The scholarship repository is currently in a pilot phase. Please click here for more information.
