What is wrong with this picture?
@DH_Collective QuasiCon 2015
● Not actually a linear process● Digital projects are iterative
Good model, but not perfect

Case Study 1:Mapping the Motor City’s Cinemas Project➊ backend (flat / structured data) & frontend➋ iterations & judgement➌ exploratory <--> set procedure
@DH_Collective QuasiCon 2015
Case Study 2:The Global Midwest Project: Aggregating Digital Collections
@DH_Collective QuasiCon 2015
Case Study 2:The Global Midwest Project: Aggregating Digital Collections➊ mini grant facilitated planning stage ➋ ideal timeline in linear format➌ steps can be done simultaneously
@DH_Collective QuasiCon 2015
Case Study 3:Miriam Posner, UCLA: “No Half Measures”➊ address institutional and administrative
barriers to DH work in libraries➋ collaboration between librarians and
faculty (not service-based model)
@DH_Collective QuasiCon 2015
Digital Scholarship Calls for:➊ linear < -- > iterative➋ explorative < -- > structured➌ coordination & collaboration
@DH_Collective QuasiCon 2015
Ideal Role of DSLibrarian:
➊ needs assessment (cf. Alix Keener @UM)➋ reference / consultation➌ coordination / collaboration
