The University of Rochester River Campus Libraries has been awarded a $100,672 grant from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation to fund a pilot program designed to strengthen librarians\u2019 competencies in digital scholarship. \u201c21st<\/sup> Century Skills: Digital Humanities Institute for Mid-Career Librarians\u201d will launch during the summer of 2015 at the University of Rochester.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are very grateful to the Mellon Foundation for its support of this project,\u201d said Mary Ann Mavrinac, vice provost and Andrew H. and Janet Dayton Neilly Dean of River Campus Libraries. \u201cThe University of Rochester is well-positioned to design and deliver a successful institute, as much of the scholarly activity around digital humanities is centered in the Rush Rhees Library.\u201d<\/p>\n

Advances in scholarly practices in the humanities and social sciences require a new caliber of skill sets to support the research process. As the nucleus of the production, dissemination, and preservation of knowledge at the University, the River Campus Libraries is an essential partner in this digital future. The pilot institute will provide a three-day residential immersion experience and a yearlong online component for 20 mid-career librarians. Participants will develop proficiency in three core competencies\u2013project management, copyright and fair use, and metadata literacy\u2013while enhancing their technology toolkits and exploring diverse areas of digital humanities scholarship. University of Rochester faculty, River Campus Libraries staff, UR Mellon fellows in digital humanities<\/a>, and CLIR postdoctoral fellows<\/a> will serve as instructors. Interested mid-career librarians from across the United States and Canada are invited to apply to the institute through a competitive process.<\/p>\n

The Digital Humanities Center in Rush Rhees Library has collaborated on research initiatives with faculty members in the School of Arts, Sciences, and Engineering since 2010. Current projects include Re-Envisioning Japan<\/a>, which documents Japan\u2019s presence as a foreign destination in visual and material culture; the Seward Family Papers Project, an exploration of digital representations of the letters and diaries written by William Henry Seward and his family; and the Claude Bragdon Train Station Project<\/a>, an initiative to create an interactive 3D model of architect Claude Bragdon\u2019s Rochester train station that was demolished in the 1960\u2019s. The breadth and depth of such projects, combined with faculty and staff expertise and the University\u2019s state-of-the-art digital resources, make Rochester uniquely qualified to host the institute.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is absolutely the right time for the River Campus Libraries to step into this role stewarding the next generation of digital scholarship librarians,\u201d said Nora Dimmock, assistant dean for IT, research, and digital scholarship at the River Campus Libraries. \u201cWe will take full advantage of the expertise we have developed and the outstanding facilities in Rush Rhees Library, Rettner Hall for Media Arts and Innovation, and the VISTA Collaboratory.\u201d<\/p>\n

Program managers will evaluate feedback from the pilot institute to guide the development of an expanded program. The full institute is expected to launch in 2016.<\/p>\n
