Improved outcomes for student papers and projects
After Chao Chen delivered a series of library workshops in Art History 100: Theories and Methods in Art History, the professor shared, "I want to thank you again for the wonderful workshops you organized for my students...The feedback I've received is that the workshop was truly helpful and enlightening. You showed them ways of approaching the databases that they hadn't been previously aware of, and they agreed that these approaches would allow them to undertake research at a whole new level." After learning fundamental research skills, like database searching, students are more confident in their own research and as a result produce stronger papers and projects.
Multimodal assignment support
Kim Forero-Arnías of the Digital Scholarship department partnered with Professors Colin Orians and Nina Gerassi-Navarro to provide a unique assignment for Environmental Studies 196: Sustaining Your Cup. In this international GILD course, Kim taught students how to create and use ArcGIS StoryMaps to research and tell the complex stories of different beverages. Whether a traditional research paper, a multimedia project, or using digital scholarship tools, we can provide planning and instructional support for multimodal assignments.
Supporting complex faculty research
In support of a digital humanities project edited by Professor Yannis Evrigenis, Christopher Barbour and Tisch Special Collections acquired and digitized the original French and subsequent Latin and English editions of Jean Bodin's Les six livres de la republique. The digitized version of this text was used in support of the Dynamic Variorum Editions project. We can assist you in gaining access to whatever materials you may need for your research projects.
