After digitization we will be installing a new display on the third floor @isumilnerlib but we couldn’t resist sharing a preview of things to come and a behind the scenes look.

Omeka is a great tool to use for classroom #DH projects. It's intuitive and a great place to compile all the curated collections you have your students developing. Plus, the exhibit builder is easy to use, and creates a great final interactive layer to showcase the underlying work.

To further celebrate this occasion, we’ve included a plate of one our favorite illustrations—the amazingly distorted necks on Audubon’s pair of #CanadianGeese, as included in #BirdsOfAmerica [1839].

Professors and scholars, we want to hear from you too! Posters and papers should be by or in collaboration with students or focused on student DH work or pedagogy. We invite instructors to nominate themselves or particularly involved students for a panel on PhD #pedagogy.
