The Library has a growing collection of digitised, born digital and electronic resources. In conjunction with various partners, the Library has begun a programme to digitise material from its collections. It has a large collection of databases, e-journals and e-books both sourced and maintained locally and through the IReL initiative.
MU Library has been engaged in a project to develop a Digital Library in order to provide online access to some of wonderful collections of Maynooth University and St Patrick’s Pontifical University.

Digitisation of Library collections is ongoing using the equipment and expertise of library staff, colleagues on campus as well as from further afield.
