Minimal Yearly Programming

NB: This list just includes our Library-All or public events, and does not include internal-only groups like the encoder meeting.

Fall

• GIS 1
• DataViz 1
• 1 get-to-know you event: September kickoff.
• Open Access Month events (Wikipedia, DRS, data management, Zotero)
• GIS and Data Visualization Open Office Hours (Fall and Spring only, not Summer)

Spring

• GIS 2
• DataViz 2
• GIS and Data Visualization Open Office Hours (Fall and Spring only?)

Summer

• Summer: 1 event for library-staff only, aimed at library/archives audience, NU-only or external. (More extensive planning/execution required of DSG grad students and staff.) Tool buffet.

Any time, but at least once a year

• At least 1 external speaker or speaker series -- in conjunction with NULab? Can we commit to this? It happened this year.
• 1 Wikipedia editing party (often in October, but may change in partnership with class schedule)
• 1 Teaching with Wikipedia event, ideally in partnership with English writing faculty or Communications faculty
• 1 data management event in partnership w/ Jen Ferguson (may be part of Open October)
• Regular NULab faculty works-in-progress during DH Open Office Hours.
• Weekly DH Office Hours -- open to the public, informal test bed for new workshop topics. (Fall and Spring only)
• DRS Sessions: ask Sarah S. for proposed schedule
• WWP Sessions: ask Sarah O. for proposed schedule
• 1 Intro to Omeka every semester or as needed?

For discussion: to include in minimal programs?

• Summer DH event run by graduate students? Should we remove this?

• 1 conference proposal writing session approximately 3 weeks before Digital Humanities/ADHO conference proposals due. Proposals generally due Jan/Feb, so writing session Oct/Nov?

Additional programs as possible

• Topical working groups as need arises

• 1 undergrad event. (Lightweight hands-on into to new fun tool/project)

• 1 "perennial topics" for grad students: "tool talk", intro to text analysis, personal data management. (More extensive planning/execution required of DSG grad students and staff.)

• 1-2 DissCo events: largely managed by graduate students -- partner with Writing Center? Abbie could look into this.

• Digital pedagogy practicum/workshopping group with grad students and/or faculty.

• Additional topical workshops as needed on project basis: e.g.WordPress for DRS Project Toolkit accepted proposals.
