Digital Scholarship Show-and-Tell for Open Access Week

Bring your lunch and learn about some exciting digital scholarship projects on a wide range of topics from universities around the globe. From newly digitized archives and databases to crowd-sourced transcription and mapping projects, students and faculty are creating works of digital scholarship that are interdisciplinary, multimedia, and free to access online.

Since the theme of Open Access Week 2024 is Community over Commercialization, we will focus on projects that are community-based or focused on particular communities including African Americans, Native Americans, Asian Americans, as well as the LGBTQ+, disabled, and migrant communities. Each of these projects seeks to use digital tools and the internet to increase understanding and awareness of these communities by the public and not just other students or scholars.

Join us at the Innovation Center in Swirbul Library or online as we explore these projects and talk about the technology and principles that make them possible.
