    How can libraries support digital humanities work, even when there isn’t an official center?

    Tuesday, September 24th, 2013 | scordell

    The vast majority of college campuses and research institutions do not have an official DH center, yet there is still a lot of support for researchers. We would like to propose a discussion on the ways that the Library and other institutional departments can support DH scholars on different levels (technically, topically, and pedagogically). Some questions we will consider include what type of support do DH scholars need and how much? How can the we facilitate DH experimentation for scholars who just want to try it out? How can the institutions effectively reach out to individuals and foster community?
