    Collaboration-as-Service: Humanities Librarians, Technologists, and Researchers
    (2018-03-11) Dohe, Kate
    Liaison librarians of all disciplines must increasingly draw upon distributed functional expertise within their libraries to meet the shifting, complex demands of university faculty and students. As more research services, funded scholarship, and course projects are built upon digital resources and complicated technology, it becomes more essential for liaisons to translate user needs to developers, repository managers, and technical support teams. In particular, humanities librarians must deftly bridge sometimes large gaps in understanding and knowledge between scholars, students, and technologists to support these projects. However, the invisible emotional labor that supports collaboration within successful projects is often devalued by university administrators—and, crucially, prospective funding sources--in comparison to visibly working code. Further compounding the problem are differences in compensation for project-specific work, and buyouts that may be available to technical specialists, but not to the librarians who are “just doing their job.”

    Starting with “Yes, And...”: Collaborative Instructional Design in Digital Scholarship
    (Library Orientation Exchange (LOEX), 2016) Dohe, Kate; Pappas, Erin
    Improv principles and techniques are applicable in any instance of teaching: respect your partner, know your audience, work the room, jump in with both feet, agree agree agree. These techniques take for granted that this form of instruction and collaboration is new for both partners, that neither person is the expert, and that the content and situations will have to be recreated anew in every classroom and workshop. In this workshop, two librarians and former improv and theater instructors lead workshop attendees through some of the fundamentals of improv, and reflect upon how these same activities and principles help create an environment of collaboration and openness necessary to support the diverse goals of digital scholarship.
