Harvard University's Library Digital Initiative (LDI) is a comprehensive program begun in 1998 to develop the University's capacity to manage digital information by:

  • creating the technical infrastructure to support the acquisition, organization, delivery, and archiving of digital library materials;
  • providing a team of specialists to advise librarians and others in the University community on key issues in the digital environment;
  • providing librarians and staff with experience in a wide range of technologies and digital materials; and,
  • enriching the Harvard University Library collections with a significant set of digital resources
