The FAU Digital Library digitizes, collects, and disseminates the scholarly research and creative works of Florida Atlantic University faculty, researchers, and students in an open access repository. This allows a global audience to access a wide array of FAU digital scholarship. It also allows FAU Libraries to showcase digitized unique and rare materials from its Special Collections. The FAU Digital Library mission is to create and provide access to significant FAU digital scholarship and resources for the benefit of a wider audience in support of the University's educational mission.
