Kazuko Hioki, UK Libraries conservation librarian
and Asian Studies liaison, attended the two-day workshop “Advancing Digital
Scholarship in Japanese Studies: Innovations and Challenges,” organized by the
North American Coordinating Council on Japanese Library Resources and the
Reischauer Institute of Japanese Studies. Kazuko received a scholarship for the
workshop, which took place at Harvard University November 6-7, 2015.
The workshop included
presentations by information technology experts, academics in the humanities
and social sciences fields, librarians, and museum curators. Topics included: the concept of digital scholarship, teaching courses and research
projects, cloud editing, and nurturing object
collections and museums within virtual communities.
Throughout
the workshop experts emphasized the role of libraries as central players in
digital scholarship. Presenters frequently used phrases such as: “the library is
the place interdisciplinary collaboration happens,” “librarians bridge various
disciplines,” and "[libraries assist in] achieving greater success
by helping others.”
