Milner Library is pleased to announce an open house to celebrate the opening of its Digital Scholarship Lab in room 165. Join us from 2-4 p.m. on November 14 and enjoy snacks, conversation, and a chance to experience all the resources the Digital Scholarship Lab has to offer. Can’t make it? No problem! With open lab hours weekly on Sundays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays, the lab provides a space for students and scholars to explore digital scholarship tools and community for those who embrace these processes.
If your scholarship would benefit from data analysis, data visualization, data mining, digital exhibits, or other digital scholarship approaches, we encourage you to visit open lab hours or reach out to Rebecca Fitzsimmons (rlfitzs@IllinoisState.edu) and Rachel Scott (rescot2@IllinoisState.edu).
The lab features 11 Dell Precision 3650 Workstations with the following specifications: Intel Core i9-11900K 8-core, 16 thread, 3.5 to 5.3GHZ CPU, 64GB DDR4 RAM, NVIDIA RTX A4500 w/ 20GB GDDR6 VRAM, and 2TB PCIe NVME SSD. Specialized equipment includes two Epson 12000XL Graphic Arts Flatbed Scanners and two Meta Quest Pros with 256GB Storage. In addition to software available across campus, the lab machines also have ZoomText Fusion 2023, ABBYY FineReader, and OxygenXML, among others. Please visit the Digital Scholarship Guide to explore related offers and opportunities.
Fall open lab hours are: Sundays, 3-8 p.m.; Tuesdays, 4-8 p.m.; Wednesdays, 4-6 p.m.; and Thursdays, 4-8 p.m. The lab is staffed by two Illinois State graduate students with considerable experience in digital scholarship.
