UMaine's online Digital Curation program is an exceptional opportunity to study with someone responsible for some of the most innovative #DigitalHumanities platforms ever made
One student's final project this term examines the pros and cons of the digital humanities platform @anvcscalar as a public archive. He got comments directly from Scalar's lead developer @craigdietrich—because he's teaching our Digital Collections & Exhibitions course👨🏫

Apart from the storytelling emphasis, this is another example of a job description that merges the roles of archivist, librarian, and curator. The future of working with collections is hybrid.
Interesting emphasis on digital storytelling in the description for this #DigitalCuration #Job as University Archivist at the Library of the University of California, Davis. recruit.ucdavis.edu/JPF05837 HT @archivesgig
ALT "This role also acts as the lead for digital storytelling in Archives and Special Collections, coordinating efforts to promote awareness and use of distinctive collections for all audiences. Digital storytelling serves to demonstrate the global impact of UC Davis research, teaching, and patient care to a broad public. Working in collaboration with the library’s Online Strategy group, the University Archivist will develop priorities for the creation and curation of online content by colleagues across the library organization. Example projects include inviting user engagement with digital collections, collaborating on interactive websites or digital applications, and facilitating computational approaches to digital assets and collections.

Overlapping needs for digital curation are eating away at the disciplinary walls between cultural heritage roles, as evidenced by this trend toward hybrid titles like "Archivist and Librarian" or "Archivist and Curator" (both posted in the last couple of days).
