Hi all,

The deadline for the Digital Scholarship Librarian position at San Diego State University (SDSU) has been extended. It does require a library/information science degree (ALA or foreign equivalent) so that would mean folks like me wouldn’t be applicable. SDSU is doing really exciting work, as with their DH Initiative.

Importantly, “SDSU is a large, diverse, urban university and Hispanic-Serving Institution with a commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusive excellence” which reminds me of the description often used for FIU, and FIU is an amazing (amazing!) institution that I am very happy to have the privilege to work with regularly with the Digital Library of the Caribbean (dLOC, www.dloc.comhttp://www.dloc.com). I don’t have direct knowledge/experience with SDSU, other than some contact with Jessica Pressman in the DH Initiative, who is fabulous. I hope to work with whoever is hired in the Digital Scholarship Librarian, with SDSU doing a regional DH start-up grant, and the Florida Digital Humanities Consortium looking at doing similar and different things statewide in Florida.

This looks like a great position, and I look forward to seeing it filled!

Best wishes, Laurie
