About DePaul University: Founded in 1898 by the Congregation of the Mission
(also known as the Vincentians), DePaul University is the largest Catholic
university in the United States and currently enrolls almost 24,000 students
in 10 schools and colleges offering 300 undergraduate and graduate programs
and concentrations. One of the largest private, not-for-profit universities in
the nation, DePaul’s faculty teach across multiple campuses in Chicago and its
suburbs. DePaul University has been recognized in national publications for
its diversity, service-learning programs, and sustainability efforts, and is
the home to nationally recognized academic programs in the College of

About the DePaul University Library: The DePaul University Library is
comprised of the John T. Richardson Library, the Loop Library, and library
service programs delivered to DePaul’s suburban campuses. The DePaul
University Library is a partner in a number of campus programs, including the
first-year experience (Chicago Quarter), the Teaching Commons, and the
Graduate Certificate in the Digital Humanities. In 2013, a major renovation of
the Richardson Library facilitated the launch of the Richardson Library
Information Commons, a technology-enhanced space including individual, group,
and collaborative work spaces, Learning Commons and Scholar’s Lab. The next
phase of renovation at the Richardson Library will be completed in the summer
of 2017 and will include a makerspace, media creation/editing rooms, and
technology in support of rapidly growing programs in digital scholarship and
data mining and visualization. The DePaul University Library is housed in the
Division of Teaching and Learning Resources, which includes the DePaul Art
Museum and Faculty Instructional Technology Services, and is an active member
of local, regional, and national consortia, including CARLI, Chicago
Collections, the Center for Research Libraries, the Library Publishing
Coalition, the Coalition for Networked Information, and the Catholic Research
Resources Alliance. In 2015, DePaul joined the Federal Depository Library
Program as one of its first “digital depository” members and contributed to
the design and launch of Explore Chicago Collections
(http://explore.chicagocollections.org/), which has been described as “a game-
changing collaboration between libraries, universities, & museums.”
