This seminar is intended to serve as a springboard for faculty, students, and staff who wish to explore the potential of digital scholarship. It will provide a solid foundation from which participants can continue to develop these skills whether on their own or through a series of advanced, subject-specific follow-up seminars. The seminar is structured as a series of hands-on sessions that provide participants with the opportunity to work with real-world datasets that relate to the humanities and social sciences. These sessions will teach participants how to:

- Create digital datasets by mining online resources or digitizing paper materials,
- Effectively store and organize those datasets
- Prepare the data for analysis
- Use beginner-friendly visualization techniques to explore datasets, and
- Present the results in various formats on multiple platforms.

 The seminar will be held from 9am-2pm on October 2 and 3 in Lamont Library B-30. Lunch will be provided both days.

 Participants are expected to attend both days of the seminar, as the sessions build upon one another. In the event of over-registration, preference will be given to participants who are able to attend all sessions.

Sort    ***Feedback from previous seminar participants has been unanimously positive.*** *"This was excellent," said one participant. "All the lecture material was engaging, useful, succinct, clear and I liked how every speaker tied their piece into the overall concept." Another said, "I liked the comprehensive and interlinking aspect of the workshops. It gave me a nice sense of a digital project from start to finish. All the presentations were easy to follow \[and\] engaging." "I now have a much better mental model of what is involved with digital scholarship," said another participant, "and feel ready to embark on my own project or guide others."*
