13 SPEC Kit 350: Supporting Digital Scholarship
DIGITAL SCHOLARSHIP SUPPORT FOR RESEARCHERS AT YOUR INSTITUTION
In an article in the September/October 2015 issue of EDUCAUSE Review, Nancy Maron describes a life
cycle for digital projects that includes:
project planning (pre-project decision making),
project management (end-to-end oversight and development),
content creation,
technical development (programming support),
technical upkeep (ongoing maintenance, updates, and migration),
storage and preservation, and
dissemination (sharing the final product with its audience).
This section is intended to provide a high-level view of where a researcher can find support for these
activities within (or outside) your institution.
