The Culture of Digital Scholarship in Academic Libraries
Roemer, Robin Chin, Ed.; Kern, Verletta, Ed.
ALA Editions
At the heart of digital scholarship are universal questions, lessons, and principles relating both to the mission of higher education and the shared values that make an academic library culture. But while global in aspirations, digital scholarship starts with local culture drawn from the community. Editors Chin Roemer and Kern invite you into their institutional workspace, the University of Washington, gathering voices from a range of positions that speak to the facets of digital scholarship. This mosaic of perspectives reveals the challenges, questions, and personalities that sit at the nexus of academic libraries and digital scholarship culture. Reflecting on UW's approach, you'll gain insights for your own institution on topics such as: (1) ways to create awareness of digital services through training; (2) supporting students as creators of content; (3) blending existing analog collections with ongoing digital initiatives using a media lab; (4) creating a campus-wide, discipline agnostic, data repository service; (5) how a popular digital storytelling workshop spawned digital scholarship across campus; (6) digital scholarship consultations, viewed from an instructional technologist's approach; (7) the place of digital scholarship in the fabric of a revitalized urban community; (8) four strategies for teaching research skills within an online-only bachelor's degree program; and (9) assessment findings from focus groups, surveys, digital pedagogy projects, and Omeka case studies. By thoroughly exploring a single institution, this unique volume elucidates the many ways in which digital scholarship can express the values, priorities, opportunities, and challenges of the community's intellectual and technical environment. Following an introduction by Robin Chin Roemer, this book presents: (1) Public Scholarship (Robin Chin Roemer); (2) Digital Citizenship: Teaching Research Identity and Accountability to Undergraduates (Reed Garber-Pearson); (3) Scholarly Communications Outreach and Education (Maryam Fakouri); (4) Assessment at the University of Washington Libraries (Verletta Kern); (5) Digital Storytelling (Perry Yee and Elliott Stevens); (6) Stewardship (Elizabeth Bedford); (7) Learning Technologies (Beth Lytle); (8) Data Services (Jennifer Muilenburg); (9) Media Services (John Vallier and Andrew Weaver); and (10) The Urban Serving University (Justin Wadland and Marisa Petrich). "The Culture of Digital Scholarship Continued," by Verletta Kern concludes the book.
