Congratulations to Digital Scholarship and Initiatives team members Pam Mitchem, Dea Rice and Ashlea Green for their successful acceptance of a LSTA Grant Award for $25,010!
Below is a brief statement of their project:
Appalachian State University’s Digital Scholarship & Initiatives team (DSI) plans to conduct a needs assessment for the development of digital preservation and access programming for communities/groups/organizations in the western North Carolina (WNC) region. More specifically, the planning consultant will identify and assess the needs of organizations, small businesses, and/or community groups in the WNC region that lack and would benefit from support, training, and professional development in DSI areas of expertise, recommend formats (e.g., in-person workshops, online training resources, etc.) and content areas (e.g., copyright, 3D scanning, etc.) that would best serve the identified groups, and recommend outreach activities to engage these groups.
