Bucknell-Gettysburg Digital Scholarship Summer Fellows Meet-Up Submitted by Carrie Pirmann, Social Sciences Librarian, Bucknell University With the support of an ACLCP Shadowing and Peer to Peer Site Visitation grant, librarians and students participating in Bucknell’s Digital Scholarship Summer Research Fellows (DSSRF) program traveled to Gettysburg College to visit our digital scholarship peers. We were inspired to start the DSSRF program after seeing librarians and students from Gettysburg and Lafayette present at last year’s Bucknell University Digital Scholarship Conference, so this was a perfect opportunity to get to know Gettysburg’s students and facilitators better. In the morning, we did a workshop on elevator speeches, led by Courtney Paddick (Arts & Humanities Librarian at Bucknell) and Clint Baugess (Research & Instruction Librarian at Gettysburg). This was a chance for the students to get to know each other and become familiar with each others’ projects. We went through two rounds of elevator speeches: one round was crafted as if students were talking to a senior level administrator, and the second was crafted to an audience of each student’s choosing. The elevator speech practice would definitely come in handy for the Bucknell students later in the week, when they presented their projects to the Vice President of Library and Information Technology. For the afternoon session, we did two rounds of peer evaluations and project workshopping. Students worked in groups - one senior fellow from Gettysburg, one junior fellow from Gettysburg, and one student from Bucknell. The Bucknell #dssrf17 cohort had been working together so closely that it was sometimes difficult to step back from the projects and give concrete, constructive feedback. Having fresh sets of eyes on their projects was enormously helpful to our students, and I know they all came away with good feedback and suggestions for improvements that they could make to their work. Overall, this visit was a great exercise in collaboration and community building. A common theme in digital humanities and digital scholarship is to build a community of practice, and this was an opportunity for all the students to see that in action and develop their own community of practice. As Keira Koch ‘19, a Gettysburg DS Senior Fellow remarked, “When the #dssrf17 students were here, it was undergrad collaboration at its finest.” Students working on their elevator speeches.
