Digital Fluencies 01: Databases

Please join us for lunch on Wednesday, April 4th, from 12 pm-1:30 pm in the CTLR Lounge for the first gathering in our Digital Fluencies series. Databases undergird almost every digital publishing project, platform, interface, and tool. How do we better understand what databases are—and what they can be—as a key aspect of the digital liberal arts? We’ll gather to explore the topic. Faculty, students, and staff at all levels are welcome to attend participate regardless of digital skills. Please sign up so we can provide access to the readings and have enough food on hand for lunch.

What is the Digital Fluencies Series? The Digital Fluencies series investigates what it means to develop critical awareness, engagement, and competency with digital technologies. Faculty, students, and staff at all levels are welcome to attend and participate regardless of digital skills. Meetings general combine 1-3 readings/viewings (a link to materials will be provided) and a case study for hands-on exploration. Faculty, students, and staff at all levels are welcome to attend participate regardless of digital skills.

Co-sponsored by DLA, CTLR, Davis Library, and DLINQ. Organized by Leanne Galletly, User Experience & Digital Scholarship Librarian, and Michael J. Kramer, Assistant Professor of the Practice, Digital History/Humanities and Associate Director of the Digital Liberal Arts.
