New York University: All Bobst Holdings Will Be Digitized

Posted by admin on Oct 20, 2009

With the financial backing of Abu Dhabi, New York University is planning to digitize Bobst Library.

This will be perhaps NYU Abu Dhabi’s most visible change for the university’s Washington Square campus. A digital database of all the holdings in Bobst would serve to connect Abu Dhabi and New York’s research materials.

Initially, New York University students will only have access to NYU’s current online resources. But the new, degree-granting satellite campus in the United Arab Emirates has its sights set on a complete digitization.

New York University currently has no time frame for when the project will start. The university’s libraries have a combined 5.1 million volumes.
