Last week we held the CNI - ARL Digital Scholarship Planning Workshop at Brown University. 100 participants attended and worked in small groups on topics including needs assessment, staffing, governance and funding, teaching and learning, and spaces and places after hearing short talks on these topics. The closing plenary was a presentation by Dan Cohen, focusing on the topic of institutionalizing digital scholarship. It was a wonderful talk, drawing on his experience at the Roy Rosenzweig Center for History and New Media at George Mason University, his time as Executive Director of the Digital Public Library of America (DPLA), and his current position as Dean of Libraries, Vice Provost for Information Collaboration, and Professor of History at Northeastern University.
