Course description:
The global pandemic has made it difficult to undertake traditional, on-site research in archives and libraries. With research trips postponed or cancelled, students may be glad to learn that there are other ways to obtain and work with the research data necessary for their dissertation or thesis. This course will help students learn about those ways of working with digital information. With an emphasis on the humanities and interpretive social sciences, it will provide strategies for locating and acquiring digital or digitized artifacts; organizing research data; and using digital scholarship tools to manage personal archives, analyze data, and share research outcomes. No previous experience with digital scholarship tools or methods is required.
