When institutional pressure to show progress and produce cutting edge research often means a desire to solve problems through budgetary or technological means, the Connecting Digital Scholarship group offers an alternate model based on building strong interpersonal connections. This presentation will include discussion of ongoing work in developing a cross-unit program founded upon the value of trust in social connections that brings academic IT into collaboration with library digital scholarship support to build a learning community of scholars and support partners.
