During the 2016 and 2017 course iterations, Professor Rebecca Amato, collaborated with librarian, Zach Coble, to create online digital exhibits to showcase the students’ fieldwork and to create a resource for participating community partners. While the faculty-library partnership was successful in creating a digital humanities pedagogy that helped students build methodological and technical skills, the process also revealed shortcomings about working with communities with low access to computers or with aging populations with few technical skills. 2020-10-01T00:00:00Z http://hdl.handle.net/2451/36742 Title: An Investigation of Retracted Articles in the Biomedical Literature Authors: Budd, John M; Coble, Zach; Abritis, Alison Abstract: A major challenge to formal scientific communication is the retraction of published works. This study includes a detailed analysis of retracted articles in biomedical literature, including categorization of the reasons for retraction. The examination covers the years 2010-2014. Analysis also includes citations to articles retraction between 2001 and 2005. The totality of the investigation is couched within the context of communication in the biomedical sciences and, to a lesser extent, of the formulation of theories of citation. 2016-10-01T00:00:00Z http://hdl.handle.net/2451/34926 Title: Getting Started with Digital Humanities in the Library Authors: Coble, Zach Abstract: In this chapter, Zach Coble details the skills, experiences, and training necessary to get started with digital humanities in libraries. After providing a brief outline of the different types of digital humanities work, we will examine six categories of skills that digital humanities librarians should be competent in. Practical examples of experiences and training are provided, focusing on getting involved in existing projects and connecting with others interested in digital humanities work. An emphasis is placed on the idea that the skills in the digital humanities librarian’s toolkit are transferrable and can be acquired through non-digital humanities projects, and that developing these skills will help you become a more well-rounded librarian.
