The Center for Digital Media (CDM) is jointly managed by Information Technology Services and Grasselli Library & Breen Learning Center. The goal of the center is to provide faculty and students with the resources they need to create sophisticated presentations, videos, graphics, and other forms of digital media. The CDM is staffed by full-time multimedia & instructional technology specialists, as well as a team of specially-trained student assistants.

The center, located on the main floor of Grasselli Library & Breen Learning Center, provides the John Carroll community with three primary resources: (1) a fully-equipped and supported multimedia lab open to faculty, staff, and students; (2) a production lab with associated services for faculty; and (3) an ongoing technology training and professional development program. The CDM also has a collection of cameras and other equipment that students and faculty can borrow on a short-term basis.
