/ About Event
#BUDSC19 is committed to expanding the definition of digital scholarship to be more inclusive across diverse communities, both inside and outside of academia. The conference will bring together a broad community of practitioners–faculty, researchers, librarians, artists, educational technologists, students, administrators, and others–engaged in digital scholarship both in research and teaching who share an interest in the journey of digital scholarship. We look forward to building on the success of the last five years, in which we came together to discuss challenges, share working models, reflect on projects, and inspire new avenues for actively including students in scholarly pursuits.
Join us to discuss the Journey of Digital Scholarship, where wonder leads to action.
With 3600 Undergraduate students Bucknell University is a national university where liberal arts and professional programs complement each other.
In 2019, the Bucknell University Digital Scholarship Conference is celebrating its sixth year.

Since 2012, Jane has led the many iterations of ARTLENS Gallery, the multi-faceted, innovative experience that inspires visitors to the museum to look closer and dive deeper in order to establish a connection with the museum’s extensive collection. Using award winning and cutting edge digital technology, the ARTLENS Gallery seamlessly integrates fun and learning while endowing visitors with helpful skills to enhance their appreciation of the art throughout the museum. In 2019, Jane led the CMA’s comprehensive Open Access initiative, which allows the public to share, collaborate, remix, and reuse high resolution images of 30,000 public- domain artworks and metadata for 61,000 artworks for commercial and non-commercial purposes. Both of these projects have won numerous national and international awards and have been featured in a wide variety of national publications.
