Workshop Description
This collaborative workshop offers attendees an opportunity to explore models and best practices in institutional planning and support for digital scholarship, through a mixture of case studies, working group sessions, and presentations. It is designed both for those who are starting a planning process and also for those seeking to move an existing program further along its path.
This workshop will equip participants to develop a plan for initiating or expanding a digital scholarship program or center, and to work productively with faculty, administrators, and other stakeholders in strategic discussions.
