“Whether it is mapping, digital scholarly communication, data mining, or any of the other exciting digital methods that the fellows have explored, the librarians in the collaborative gain valuable expertise while providing support to fellows through every stage of their projects,” said Joshua Ortiz Baco, assistant professor and digital scholarship librarian of the Scholars’ Collaborative. “Fellows’ projects provide content and technical skills that are translated into instruction and workshops offered by librarians to the entire UT community. By providing resources, support, and expertise to faculty fellows, the libraries has become an essential partner in advancing digital humanities research.”

Joshua Ortiz Baco, assistant professor and digital scholarship librarian of the Scholars’ Collaborative at the University of Tennessee, discusses digital humanities research, the Humanities Center, and how faculty and students are engaging in this emerging field.
