| Abstract: | As the practice of Digital Humanities becomes more widespread in the
academy, libraries are finding new opportunities to collaborate with
scholars in their DH work. At NYU, interest in DH is burgeoning and
scholars are looking to the Libraries for information, training,
guidance, and partnership to explore the possibilities of DH for
research and teaching. With the NYU English Department and the NYU
Humanities Initiative, we are currently developing a Fall 2012
'Introduction to DH' workshop series for graduate students and faculty.
After reviewing a variety of 'Intro' courses at other institutions and
assessing English department graduate student needs, we developed a
semester-long curriculum that will frame each session within a topical
DH debate, repackage some existing Libraries and Information Technology
Services workshops on enterprise academic technologies, and also
introduce other appropriate tools. With this new venture, we are taking
an iterative, learn-as-we-go approach. Discussion and laptop hands-on
sessions will be held in a new, flexible teaching and learning venue
within the Library, allowing us to introduce and test the usability of
the space. Designated session observers will relay what is and is not
working so we can adjust mid-course. Session participants will receive
questionnaires to provide feedback and help us judge the effectiveness
of the presentations, demonstrations, additional resources, and
readings. Our presentation will provide an overview of what other
institutions, especially libraries, are doing in this 'Introduction to
DH' space, explain how we chose the topics for our workshop curriculum,
and describe our developing partnerships with NYU faculty and programs.
Three of our 'Intro' sessions will have occurred before the DLF Forum,
so we will also provide a midstream review of our series to date.
Finally, we will lead a discussion to hear how others are addressing DH
training and support, and to consider emerging library roles and
partnerships in this domain. |
