It is intended to be a highly visible repository of NYU faculty digital scholarship. The FDA is organized into communities and collections. Communities contain and organize collections. Collections will contain faculty content. Collections will be owned and managed by faculty, who will have responsibility for adding, making available, and removing content. ITS Client Services and the Digital Studio will be available to assist faculty in this.
