Topic:
Providing expertise in the library for faculty, graduate students, and upper level undergraduates seeking assistance with digital scholarship projects is becoming increasingly common. Digital scholarship projects may emerge from faculty research interests, may be a component of classroom assignments, or may be the products of theses or capstone work. In any of these cases, the library’s involvement is a natural extension of its role in support of the university or college’s mission. Joan Lippincott will provide a brief overview of examples of the variety of products using digital scholarship tools and methodologies, followed by a description of digital scholarship centers in libraries, informed by her work at the Coalition for Networked Information (CNI). She will then focus on the distinctions between library-administered digital scholarship centers and those administered through faculty groups, departments, or colleges. As libraries embark on planning for digital scholarship, it is important to understand some of these distinctions, make informed choices, and set up appropriate structures and arrangements.
