How can libraries support the practice and dissemination of DH on campus? What roles can we play? With whom can we develop effective partnerships on campus and beyond? What kinds of collaboration are scholars seeking? And how can libraries participate in a scalable and sustainable way?
Let’s talk.
About Jennifer Vinopal
I'm an alt-ac librarian. I left NYU's French Department with an M. Phil., looking for a career that better suited my personality and talents, and I remain "ABD". I have a variety of roles at NYU Libraries including: Project Manager for NYU’s Digital Library Technology Services; Co-Head of the Digital Studio, NYU’s gateway to digital services supporting scholarship and teaching; and subject specialist for French and Italian language and literature. My professional background is in humanities scholarship, library collection development, public service, and digital library services. I am primarily interested in creating person to person services (on-site, remote, virtual, etc.) to encourage and support scholars’ use of technology for research, teaching and learning.
I also play the ukulele.
Hi Jennifer,
This sounds like a great session, I would definitely be interested in discussing the questions you pose. I would also add (and this might bleed into a separate session) that I’m interested in examining what the LIS training brings to the DH community. Fluency with metadata is an obvious one, but what about areas like information literacy? That is, how can libraries and librarians contribute to digital scholarship in the humanities beyond providing access to the collections?
