Encouraging Convergence in the Libraries: Intersections of Data Science and Digital Humanities through Grassroots Collaboration

As scholars embark on new modes of scholarship, they are driving a demand for new skills and services. These new skills are increasingly digital, requiring expertise in areas not “traditionally” considered in the library wheelhouse, like data mining, textual analysis, spatial analysis, visualization, or 3D modeling. At the University of Arizona Libraries, we are hiring experts and partnering with campus units to develop services and position the libraries as the natural hub for digital scholarship and data science. In marrying these traditionally separate domains, we are enabling outreach and support across all disciplines, and facilitating training based on skills and tools to reach broad audiences. For example, we provide workshops and drop-in assistance with R programming, geospatial data, virtual reality content development, data management, and multimodal publishing, seeking to continually iterate on the content provided. This presentation will discuss how we work with faculty across STEM, humanities, and social sciences to integrate digital scholarship support into the curriculum, and our collaboration with CyVerse on Software and Data Carpentry workshops. We will also discuss the organizational development and cultural adjustment necessary to provide these services as a unified portfolio.
