Digital Scholarship With Purpose


About DS/WP

Based in the Shuster Lab for Digital Scholarship at Worcester Polytechnic Institute's George C. Gordon Library, and funded by a 2021-2022 LYRASIS Catalyst Grant, the Digital Scholarship With Purpose (DS/WP) project developed a package of resources, tools, and programming models for library digital scholarship labs to adapt in their communities in order to accelerate and expand digital scholarship on equity, diversity, and sustainability.

The Catalyst Fund was created to directly fund projects by LYRASIS member institutions that are designed to benefit the entire community of archives, libraries and museums.

Our Approach:
Our project worked to ‘flip the script’ of our existing Digital Scholarship Lab, reframing its purpose as a shared program, learning, and workspace specifically focused on supporting student projects, faculty research, and community collaborations that are related to equity, diversity, and sustainability.
