Registration has closed.

2021 marks our 5th year of the Digital Scholarship Research Symposium hosted by the University Library at UC Santa Cruz.  Each year, the symposium provides an opportunity for students on campus to present the work they’ve done that uses a variety of digital scholarship techniques.  We’re excited to provide that opportunity again for 2021!  

 

Our 2021 symposium will be a virtual symposium.  Once you register using our library system, you’ll receive an email with the Zoom Webinar that you can join any time during the event.  The Zoom Webinar link will give you access to the presentations and a Q&A feature. When you join, you will be anonymous to other attendees and your audio and video settings will be set and locked to off to focus the event on our speakers.
 

This year also features exciting work by our 2020–21 Undergraduate Digital Research Fellows. We look forward to seeing you at the event!
