Digital Humanities Incubator (2012 – 13)
The Digital Humanities Incubator is a program intended to help introduce University faculty, staff, and graduate assistants to digital humanities through a series of workshops, tutorials, “office hours,” and project consultations. Through a series of workshops and exercises, this first phase of the Incubator in 2012-13 concentrated on working with UMD Libraries faculty and staff exclusively. The program offered a model for nurturing digitally engaged, research-intensive librarianship, and also contributed directly to librarians’ ability to act as subject liaisons with faculty.
