Case Study: Purdue University achieves consistent, student-friendly academic publishing with Digarc

At Purdue, Acalog Project Led to Deeper Understanding of Institutional Processes, and an Opportunity to Create Consistency

Purdue University needed a better way to publish academic offerings, since course and program information was spread across multiple online locations, often outdated, inconsistent, and hard for students to find. The university chose Digarc’s Acalog academic catalog system, along with Curriculog, to create its first centralized online catalog and improve how academic content was managed.

Digarc helped Purdue build the catalog from the ground up, integrating academic information into one searchable, mobile-friendly system with tools like rich media, print options, and degree planning. The implementation improved consistency, eliminated redundant departmental content, and forced a deeper review of workflows and data validation, creating clearer accountability across campus stakeholders.
