Erin Pappas, Librarian for European Languages and Social Sciences, has received a scholarship to study best practices for managing humanities data throughout the research process.
Pappas will attend a course this summer taught by researchers from Michigan State University exploring tools and platforms that support digital humanities research, analysis and publication. The course will emphasize how to manage a beginner digital research project in a way that ensures that the project remains accessible, that the process is well documented, and that the data is reusable.
The course is part of the Humanities Intensive Learning and Teaching Summer Institute 2015, an annual training program for faculty, librarians, students and researchers in the humanities. The Institute is sponsored by the Center for Digital Scholarship at the Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis University Library, the Maryland Institute for Technology in the Humanities at the University of Maryland, and MATRIX: Center for Digital Humanities and Social Sciences at Michigan State University.
