We observe that iSchools have a significant opportunity to become more engaged in DH education and we suggest several possible approaches based on our research.ĪBSTRACT Digital library education has become a popular topic in the recent years. This work has revealed several common patterns for the current structure of DH programs, including the various types of degrees or supplemental credentials offered. Our study deployed multiple data collection methods, which included conducting both ad hoc and comprehensive website surveys, querying an online DH catalog, and inviting members of the iSchools Organization to participate in an online questionnaire. To support iSchool engagement in DH education, we have inventoried and analyzed the degrees and supplemental credentials offered by DH education programs throughout the world. Our research began as part of a DH curriculum committee convened by the iSchools Organization. We are particularly interested in programs that are officially Information Schools (iSchools), members of the international iSchools Organization. Thus, we propose that iField programs in universities should take an active role in DH education. A natural relationship exists between DH and the field of information studies (the iField), particularly surrounding their common focus on the interface between humans and computers, as well as subfields such as the organization of information, libraries and archives, data preservation, and information in society. "I really hope to visit UIUC someday while wearing my shirt! It would be amazing to see the campus in person," she said.**Open Access** The digital humanities (DH) is an emerging field of teaching and research that invites modern technologies to address traditional humanities questions while simultaneously making space for humanistic critiques of those technologies. Like most Leep students, Liu has not visited the Urbana campus, but she hopes to change that in the future. She is also interested in library services for international students and immigrants. " many people who recommended it to me, I was drawn to the iSchool because of the well-developed program structure and the wide range of course options and potential career paths," Liu said.Īfter graduation, Liu hopes to work in an academic library, where she can utilize her library experience and dual-language proficiency. She said her current supervisor graduated from the iSchool ten years ago and personally recommended the MSLIS program. Liu serves as a full-time library assistant at the Quincy Public Library in Massachusetts. "It was an honor to have my design featured alongside the iSchool logo." "I believe that information has the power to connect people from different cultures and worlds, both digital and physical."
my experience working in a public library with a diverse community and what I have learned in my courses," said Liu, a student in the Leep (MSLIS online) program. "I have always enjoyed designing and creating visuals, and I saw this as an opportunity to showcase my skills and contribute to the iSchool community. Liu's design features a "growing 'Information Technology' plant with connected stems blooming into beautiful and strong shapes." Participants were asked to submit designs that illustrated the tagline from a student perspective. Her design was based on the prompt, "The Power of Information," which is also the School's tagline. Last month, Liu was selected as the winner of the iSchool's t-shirt design contest. "No kidding?! It is a humbling experience to have my work appreciated and worn by so many people," she said. Hui Liu was thrilled when she learned that over 200 people will be wearing a t-shirt with her design.
