UCD Digital Library service takedown until further notice - dated 17th February 2025

What’s happening?

The UCD Digital Library has been taken down until further notice.

Following a review of UCD Digital Library, we have decided to retire the existing infrastructure and we are focusing our efforts on a Digital Library replacement project and the introduction of a new digital preservation system. UCD Library is taking this action to ensure the safe-keeping and long-term sustainability and accessibility of all the digital collections that we steward.

Who is affected?

This service takedown will affect our UCD faculty, students, and researchers; as well as our external partners and global audience.

What you need to do?

If you have created links to the UCD Digital Library in Brightspace, teaching materials, or on external websites, please note that these may need to be updated.

Next steps

We aim to implement a new UCD Digital Library in early 2026, and in the meantime, we hope to launch alternative temporary access to the collections soon.

We greatly appreciate your engagement with the digital collections and look forward to bringing you a new and enhanced service in the future.
