Digital Projects and Metadata Librarian,
Union College
Digital scholarship has become an increasing area of focus for higher education libraries. Figuring out how to structure staff, space, time, and cross-campus partnerships to achieve tangible results has been a struggle for many libraries. This struggle was exacerbated by the interruption in standard operating procedures precipitated by COVID-19. Schaffer Library at Union College managed to increase digital scholarship projects and form new partnerships during the pandemic and has continued this trajectory as the campus has returned to in-person operation.
