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. How will (or does) a digital scholarship program in your library/IT organization support your institution’s priorities in research, teaching & learning, social justice, and community engagement?
  2. What are the key committees or other groups at your institution for setting policies and procedures for such things as data management, technology infrastructure, acceptability of various formats of digital output in promotion and tenure review, etc.? Are representatives from the library and IT organizations on any of these groups?  If not, what strategies might work to get a seat at the table or otherwise influence the considerations and outcomes of these important matters?
  3. How are you currently communicating your organization’s expertise and programs and what could you do to strengthen the visibility of your organization? Is your library/IT organization viewed by the research community as a leading provider of expertise, infrastructure, and services related to digital scholarship?
  4. Do you think your library or library/IT organization will be able to move from being partners to faculty in the digital age to becoming pioneers in the 4th era of the industrial revolution?
  5. If you were asked by your Provost why the library or library/IT organization should have a role in digital scholarship, what are three key points that you would make?
