Item The Consequences of Framing Digital Humanities Tools as Easy to Use(Taylor & Francis, 2018-08-07) Morgan, PaigeThis article examines the recurring ways in which some of the most popular DH tools are presented as easy to use. It argues that attempts to couch powerful tools in what is often false familiarity, directly undermines the goal of encouraging scholarly innovation and risk taking. The consequences of framing digital tools as either easy or more difficult shapes the relationship between librarians and the students and faculty whose research they support, and, more broadly, the role and viability of libraries as spaces devoted to skill acquisition.Item Getting Started: Strategies for DH Professional Development(Routledge, 2019-12-10) Morgan, PaigeWith so many facets in digital humanities practice, and an increasing number of off-the-shelf tools available, it’s common for would-be DH scholars to feel uncertain about how to begin integrating digital methods into their graduate training or their postgraduate research agendas. The question of how to begin is especially important for practitioners based at institutions without any formal DH/DS training opportunities; or at institutions where such opportunities are still emerging and in development. This chapter explores specific strategies for practitioners working to develop a DH scholarly identity, i.e. a focused set of complementary expertise and interests; and discusses strategic choices and questions to consider while establishing that identity. First, I will guide readers through the process of performing environmental scans to determine how research ideas fit into the larger environment of DH activity. Environmental scans can help practitioners answer a vital trio of questions: what data is available? what format is the existing data in? what data needs to be created? Answers to these questions and information from environmental scans allow new DH scholars to plan activities and goals based on the current and future needs of the research community. I will identify potential micro-projects that new DHers could undertake, emphasizing small milestones designed to be manageable within existing research and teaching schedules. Finally, I will discuss strategies for framing these activities as experience and as components of a larger portfolio, and ways of explaining their value to both DH and non-DH audiences.Item Identifying Early Modern Books: Challenges for Citation Practices in Book History and Early Modern Studies(Archives Journal, 2017-11) Brown, Meaghan; Morgan, Paige; Otis, JessicaItem Learning from our mistakes: Using legacy projects to create better librarian/faculty collaborations(2018-06-26) Morgan, PaigeItem Test Item For Subscription Notifications(2021) Morgan, PaigeThis is to test the notifications for community/collection subscriptions.Item Thinking and re-thinking collaboration in the (digital) humanities(2019-07-26) Morgan, Paige
