Content Management

Content Management (CM) staff at Xavier's McDonald Library work collaboratively with the library staff of the Discovery Services Department to serve as an intellectual and cultural resource for the university community and external users. As such, CM supports Xavier's broader mission, advancing the Jesuit traditions of educational rigor, reflection, and service to others.

 Content Management's primary responsibilities are to acquire, organize, preserve, store, and provide the best possible access to useful information found in digital and non-digital formats. Our areas of expertise include: library collection development, acquisitions, and inventory management; bibliographic control and cataloging; special collections and rare books; digital collections; records management; and the university archives. We also provide guidance with regard to copyright and intellectual property.

 In an environment of rapidly changing information technology, CM maintains an appreciation of both new and traditional materials. While always enhancing traditional collections, CM also acquires materials in new formats and provides links to networked resources beyond the library and the campus. In this way CM establishes a vision for an integrated information management strategy for the university.
