Digital PUL (DPUL)

Digital PUL (or DPUL) is Princeton University Library’s collections showcase that provides a user-friendly interface for our ever-growing number of thematic digital collections and exhibitions as well as accompanying content from Exhibit Builders. Based on the Spotlight digital exhibits platform, DPUL supports several forms of curated exhibits and collections. They may be the primary point of discovery for an entire library collection or a subset of one; they may highlight special collections selected for a class or have a thematic focus on a specific subject, time period, or genre; others may serve as a companion to a physical exhibit in a library or museum space. All exhibits in DPUL are built with content drawn from the Library’s vast Digital Repository (Figgy) in conjunction with a variety of available features that may be used to customize metadata display or highlight and organize specific items, as examples. For more information, please visit the Library’s Building Exhibits Guide.
