Digital Scholarship Meetups

Each month, the UCR Library hosts casual community conversations on digital research, teaching, and publishing. These informal meetups are designed to facilitate collaborative learning and connection across all disciplines and departments at UCR. All UCR community members are welcome to attend, regardless of your prior experience with digital humanities or digital scholarship!

Each meeting will focus on a specific topic within digital scholarship (see the list below). This quarter our topics will focus on UCR Library resources for Digital Scholarship. Community members are invited to share their projects and experiences with related tools, and participate in informal conversation about the topic of the week.
