Planning a Digital Scholarship Center
A CNI-ARL Workshop

May 17-18, 2016 | Arlington, VA

#DSCW16

A report of this event is now available.

An increasing number of institutions are planning programs and spaces they call digital scholarship centers, scholars’ labs, research commons, or similar names. Often these centers are located in and administered by academic libraries, in contrast to faculty-run institutes. While some centers focus on digital humanities, many work with a broader range of disciplines, supporting e-science and digital research in the social sciences. During the planning and early implementation process for a center, there are many decisions to be made about the mission, programs, partnerships, staffing, technologies, as well as the physical space of the center.

This workshop will assist institutions in the process of planning digital scholarship centers, not by offering one solution but by presenting a variety of models that will help institutions make informed choices that address institutional needs and priorities. The event will include a combination of presentations by invited speakers, group discussions, and hands-on exercises.

Audience
This event will assist those institutions in the planning or early implementation stages of a digital scholarship center. Institutions are encouraged to register teams, but individual registrants are also welcome. The target audience includes deans/directors and associate directors of libraries, scholarly communications librarians, digital humanities professionals or faculty, GIS staff, information technology staff, and faculty engaged in digital scholarship.

Format
The workshop will feature a number of speakers describing the development and implementation of their centers with a focus on their challenges and successes. While some speakers may come from centers that primarily work with digital humanities, others will come from centers that work with researchers and students from a wide range of disciplines. Panel sessions will be followed by opportunities for participants to think through their institutional needs and discuss them with fellow attendees.

Topics
The workshop will cover the following topics:

  • Process of planning a digital scholarship center
  • Funding a center
  • Staffing issues, including types of staff, training, integration with other staff
  • Technologies and physical space
  • Models and types of centers
  • Partnerships for research
  • Partnerships for teaching and learning
  • Dissemination and curation of products of digital scholarship
  • Lessons learned

Program
The workshop will convene at 1:00 p.m. on Tuesday, May 17, and adjourn at 4:30 p.m. on Wednesday, May 18. There will be a reception on Tuesday evening. A preliminary workshop agenda is available (subject to change).

Preparation for the Workshop
Individuals and/or institutional teams will be asked to read background articles and to complete an assignment prior to attending the workshop. See Preparing for the Workshop for details.
