The Digital Scholarship & Publishing Studio https://www.lib.uiowa.edu/studio/
If you have a mission statement or similar description of your program, please include it here:
The Digital Scholarship & Publishing Studio collaborates with faculty and students on the digital design, implementation, and circulation of their research. Subscribing to a show more, tell less approach where digital scholarship-particularly the digital humanities-is concerned, the Studio embraces scholarly creativity and encourages interdisciplinary research and multiplatform circulation. In this manner, the Studio helps scholars tailor the presentation and application of their research to a variety of audiences.
Housed in the UI Libraries, the Studio collaborates on a wide array of projects, administers the graduate certificate in Public Digital Humanities, runs a summer fellowship program, and offers a rotating slate of short courses for graduate students and advanced undergraduates.
In close connection with other campus resources, the Studio can help instructors thread their research projects into university and community curricula.
