California Digital Library
Established in 1997, the California Digital Library has a wholly digital charter and two complementary but distinct roles:
As the systemwide digital library, the CDL supports the University of California campus libraries in their mission of providing access to the world's knowledge for the UC campuses and the communities they serve. In so doing, it directly supports UC's mission of teaching, research, and public service.
The CDL also maintains its own distinctive programs emphasizing the development and management of digital collections, innovation in scholarly publishing, and the long-term preservation of digital information.
