Digital Scholarship / Digital Humanities

Our team of librarians and iTech specialists collaborates with faculty to develop, implement, and integrate digital scholarship projects within the curriculum. These types of assignments have the power to enrich course content, support departmental and Integrations Curriculum learning goals, and further research efforts while fostering critical thinking, creativity, and digital literacy among CSB and SJU students.
