Retrieved from: http://sr.ithaka.org/?p=22548http://sr.ithaka.org/?p=22548 ●Faculty are not just using digital tools, but also creating them ●Even on campuses with DH centers, there’s rarely an end-to-end solution ●Digital project leaders gravitate to whatever support they can find ●--------- ●Lack of clarity of how DH aligns with larger institutional priorities and who should “own” the outcomes (i.e., value of the project) ●Admins uncertain about DH and whether and what special considerations need to be applied (i.e., need to support DH at an institutional level)

22. What Next? Ongoing improvement of Scholars’ Commons programming (e.g., training) opportunities Completion of the IU Libraries’ Digital Scholarship Toolkit (in progress) https://libraries.indiana.edu/services/digital-collections-services Increase outreach to other departments so that we can shrink the Ithaka finding of 32% of faculty not interested in digital research Implement a matchmaking service for project team-building (e.g., pair up graduate students with faculty) Survey the broader digital research/scholarship landscape at IUB with partners like UITS, IDAH, SSRC
