(20 Jun 2023) CNI (Coalition for Networked Information) is delighted to release the concluding report from Associate Director Emerita Joan Lippincott’s extensive study of the recent past, present and future of a selected set of programs at CNI member institutions addressing digital scholarship (DS), data-intensive, and computation research and interconnections among them. The report can be found at https://www.cni.org/events/cni-workshops/directions-in-digital-scholarship-support-for-digital-data-intensive-and-computational-research-in-academic-libraries/report
Drawing on interviews, profiles of 47 university library initiatives, and two online forums, the report examines trends in consultations, instructional activities, constituencies served, DEI, partnerships, facilities, external funding, and staffing related to a wide array of DS activities. Aspects of the relationship of DS programs to institutional priorities, organizational structure, sustainability, and next steps are analyzed.
This report is the culmination of a set of activities that included interviews, online forums, a session at the CNI spring 2023 membership meetings, and two webinars. All materials from the initiative (including links to the online webinars and the presentation at the spring CNI meeting) are available at https://www.cni.org/events/cni-workshops/directions-in-digital-scholarship-support-for-digital-data-intensive-and-computational-research-in-academic-libraries
