Campus Discussion Questions

These questions are intended for use by committees, task forces, and planning groups that are considering a digital scholarship program, re-thinking an existing digital scholarship program, or augmenting an existing program. Individuals in the group can watch the recording of a webinar and then discuss these questions as a group. A set of questions will be available for each webinar.

  1. Before the pandemic, what spaces in your library were being used for digital scholarship programming, e.g. consultation spaces, collaborative work spaces, spaces with specialized equipment and screens, workshop spaces? What worked well with those spaces and what could be changed post-pandemic? What needs to be added?
  2. How does the range and variety of spaces and programmatic activities fit with spaces and programs across campus? Is there any planning or service coordination?
  3. In planning new spaces and their affiliated programs, e.g. a data science initiative, are you also making plans to have the staff expertise needed available?
  4. Have you considered whether you want to be reactive or proactive in offering spaces with new technologies and affiliated services? Will the role of the library be provider of services, collaborator, or an entity that expands the idea of the possible?
  5. Is your library currently providing a showcase for student and faculty digital scholarship projects? If not, how might you do this when facilities re-open?
