      Hi folks,

      The MLA Commons has recently published an excellent draft paper on producing and preserving digital dissertations. It’s written by graduate student Jojo Karlin (The CUNY Graduate Center) and is currently open for (your) peer review!

      This got me thinking about the state of the dissertation at UCSD. Are any of you (grad students) interested in exploring digital techniques for your dissertation? Or are any of you (faculty) advising students who want to use digital formats in their research? What do you see as the challenges and opportunities in these types of engagements?

      If interest, perhaps we can arrange arrange a focused discussion on this topic at the Library with the help of our fantastic Scholarly Communication Librarian Allegra Smith.

      All best,

      Erin

      DEFINITELY!

      You and I have chatted about this previously! 🙂

      My plan in coming to UCSD is to publish my dissertation in a multi-modal format, but I’m here two months and I’m already getting pushback on what I want to create. I am very interested in pushing our digital explorations farther-for both graduate research and publication. I am meeting tomorrow with some thought leaders from the tech industry to discuss possible cutting-edge platforms that are accessible for academic publication and interactivity.

      The other important component with this is collaboration. The ability to connect across campus (or campuses) to collaborate is essential.

      Thanks for sharing this paper, Erin! I look forward to the new year and hopefully,  we can have a meeting on this!

      Awesome, Linnea! Your leadership in this area is a big part of why I think we’re ready to advance this conversation on campus. Jeanelle is also doing an awesome multimodal scholarly project on Scalar, which I think could also help kick start the discussion.

      I’m looking forward to talking more with both of you at our next DH meeting. If anyone else is interested in this topic, please let us know!

      This is so exciting! I look forward to hearing more about your work, Linnea. Also, I am happy to share my Scalar project for my qualifying paper. If you want to take a look here it is: http://scalar.usc.edu/works/the-utopiandystopian-american-dream-immigration-and-labor-in-latinao-science-fiction/index

      I look forward to continuing this conversation on digital dissertations in the future!

      Thanks Erin 🙂

        Definitely looking forward Jeanelle!

        I tried to access your project several times through the link, but it wouldn’t load. Sad face. Perhaps next time we meet you can tell me more about it!

      Hi Linnea,

      I noticed that, too! It won’t even let me log in, so I am worried. I hope that they bring it back up soon. 🙁 But, yes, I do look forward to meeting you and talking more about it!

      Have a good weekend,

      Jeanelle

      I’ve had that happen before in SCALAR. I’m sure everything is fine. Ah, technology.

      Thank you. You have a good weekend too Jeanelle!

      Hello all!

      Checked Twitter and saw Scalar’s servers are down. They hope to have then
      back up today. Nervewracking, I know!
