Abstract

Using the Claremont Colleges Library as a case study, this interactive, workshop-style presentation offers ideas and suggestions about how to build capacity within the library and the broader campus community to support and advance Digital Humanities (DH) projects, as well as digital scholarship more broadly. Through workshops, spring symposia, summer institutes, and introductory short courses for faculty, grad students, and librarians, the Claremont Colleges Library has become an integral part of the DH community and digital skilling process at the colleges.

To meet the needs of interested but inexperienced faculty members, Digital Scholarship Coordinator, Dr. Ashley Sanders, offers a six-week course to introduce Digital Humanities concepts and methodologies. Each week participants examine a different trend or methodology, including data visualization, spatial and temporal visualizations, network analysis, and topic modeling. To build capacity to support DH projects at the Claremont Colleges, she also facilitates a series of professional development workshops on a range of digital scholarship topics specifically for librarians, including a five-week course on DH (available at http://dhatccl101.com), DH project consultations, digital identity and security, author rights, copyright and fair use, and more. The course and workshop series will be presented, along with commentary about what has worked well so far and lessons learned. Additionally, participants will have the opportunity to reflect on the ideas presented and begin an outline of topics and strategies that address some of the learning needs on their own campuses.
