Do you know that you can share your work with the rest of the NIE community and the rest of the world?
NIE Digital Projects Collection
The NIE Digital Projects Collection is a multimedia archive and showcase of staff and student works. It is accessible via the Library Portal.
Some of these works are born digital e.g. digital art, videos and photographs, and others have been digitised, e.g. by photographing art pieces. Multimedia files (e.g. in .jpeg, .png, .mp4, or .mp3 formats) and their associated metadata (e.g. subject, abstract/summary or title), allow for ease of viewing, streaming, searching or browsing.
Besides NIE staff and students, members of the public can also search in the Portal and view the publicly accessible digital files. Direct URLs of the items can also be copied and shared.
Collections in the Digital Library
Currently, NIE Digital Projects contains three collections of works, thanks to the ongoing collaborations between NIE Library and various academic groups and/or committees.
