The Iowa Studio: Reconceptualizing Support for Digital Scholarship (Keegan, Culshaw, Soderdahl)

On June 1, 2015, The University of Iowa (UI) Libraries with the support of the UI provost, launched the Digital Scholarship & Publishing Studio. The Studio maintains a physical presence in the UI Main Library and was created by merging the Libraries-operated Digital Research and Publishing department with the campus-operated center called the Digital Studio for Public Arts and Humanities. With nearly a dozen full-funded staff positions, the Studio represents a remarkable commitment of institutional resources to the growth and development of digital scholarship. Housing the Iowa Digital Library (over one million digital objects), Iowa Research Online (the institutional repository), DIY History (participatory archives platform), and faculty and student Digital Editions (non-monographic digital scholarly work), the Studio collaborates with faculty, staff, and students from across the campus and the Iowa City community. This session will include discussion of the administrative movements associated with the merger; the infrastructural support for the Studio within the UI Libraries; and how the Studio is best positioned to usher in 21st century digital scholarship at UI.

The House That Collaboration Built: Redesigning a Digital Scholarship Center (Zender)

This session will examine the process by which Case Western Reserve University’s library facilitated a campus-wide discussion to define the services and spaces necessary to support existing and future digital scholarship efforts. This initiative included working with other campus entities (various schools, information technology [IT], the Humanities Center, etc.) to modernize a prominent multimedia lab into a new campus-wide digital scholarship center: the Freedman Center for Digital Scholarship. The redesigned center will support the creative and collaborative efforts required of digital scholarship initiatives, including geographic information systems, data management, digitization, 3D printing, etc. Beyond highlighting the expansion and changes to this space, this discussion will also focus on the challenges and opportunities for taking a leading role on campus to support these activities.
