Digital Library Fellowships

The University of Miami Libraries periodically offer Digital Library Fellowships to Coral Gables campus faculty interested in creating innovative new electronic scholarly content. The Libraries provide funding and technological support to projects that result in open access on-line resources designed to have long-term relevance to the teaching, learning, and research goals of UM faculty and students.

2008-2009 Fellows

On April 21, 2008. the Libraries announced the award of Digital Library Fellowships to faculty members Patricia Saunders and Barbara Whitlock.

Patricia Saunders, assistant professor in the Department of English, is a Caribbean Studies scholar. Her project seeks to further develop the department’s Caribbean Literary Studies Digital Archive by digitizing photographs and conducting video interviews with Caribbean artists.

Barbara Whitlock, an assistant professor in biology, is leading a project to digitize a historical collection of plant anatomical microscope slides that were made early in the 20th century by W. T. Swingle. Swingle had close connections with the University of Miami and was considered a foremost authority on citrus plants.

The Libraries also announced a third grant to Eugene F. Provenzo, Jr, a professor from the School of Education with an interest in the transformation of scholarship as a result of computers and network technology. As part of a larger initiative to establish a center for educational and community well-being, the School of Education has announced the development of a comprehensive research portal.
