This work is an outgrowth of GVSU's dedication to providing students, faculty, staff, and scholars at-large with access to resources to enrich their teaching, learning, scholarly, creative, and administrative activities. GVSU图书馆认为数字保存是其更广泛的收藏建设和机构历史保存工作的重要投资.

GVSU图书馆将尽一切努力保持保存的数字馆藏的可发现性, 但并非所有保存的资源都必须立即可用或在线可用. 在某些情况下，与数字材料相关的部分或全部信息可能会受到限制/编辑, embargoed, or have other special rights-driven requirements for access. Finally, 目前保存任何给定的数字内容的工作并不一定保证将来能够继续访问——这完全取决于技术的意外变化, their availability, as well as policies on disposition.
