Communities of Practice in Born-Digital Stewardship
This site is home to Building Capacity and Resilience for Born-Digital Stewardship Communities of Practice (DigiStew), a three-year early-career research project run by UNC-Chapel Hill’s School of Information and Library Sciences under the direction of Dr. Alexandra Chassanoff and with generous support from the Institute of Museum and Library Services’ Laura Bush 21st Century Librarian Program.
The aim of this project will be to investigate field-wide challenges and potential opportunities for sustaining born digital stewardship in U.S. libraries and archives. Specifically, it will answer the following research questions:
Home
- How do born-digital stewards describe their current needs and ongoing challenges?
- What professionalization pathways exist and how might they support born-digital stewards in their work?
- What role do professional communities of practice play in supporting born-digital stewardship and how do born-digital stewards describe their impact and value?
