Come help UC Davis redefine the future of library services! If you are a new developer hoping to make a difference in how we find and preserve information for future generations, we have a job that you might be interested in!

UCD is a leader at working with RDF data, developing new ways of integrating content from across the campus, and is launching a new data services program.  In every area of digital libraries, we are pushing at the boundaries of what is expected.

Ever wonder what it would mean to combine usage data from across discovery systems to build new recommending services tailored to individual researchers? So do we! Did you ever wonder if we really need a traditional discovery layer for our local catalog? We do too! Join us to be part of the conversation!
