Abstract
This essay cluster features three essays by students which reflect on their experiences developing digital scholarly resources in collaboration with the GLAM sector (the acronym for galleries, libraries, archives, and museums). Each essay focuses on a particular project: a digital exhibit of Redpath Museum’s precious seahorse collection, a digital collection of Renaissance books published by the printer-publisher Aldus Manutius held at Simon Fraser University Library Special Collections, and a digital exhibit of Victorian-era Pre-Raphaelite books hosted by the University of Victoria Library. In describing these projects, these essays reveal emerging models of digital pedagogy involving collaboration among students, faculty, and librarians. Lisa Goddard and Rebecca Dowson, academic librarians specialized in digital scholarship from the University of Victoria and Simon Fraser University, respond to these essays, offering their perspective on what student–GLAM collaborations add to the mission of academic libraries. ResumeCe regroupement de dissertation se compose de trois dissertations ecrites par des etudiants qui reflechissent a leurs experiences acquises en developpant des ressources universitaires numeriques en collaboration avec le secteur GLAM (l’acronyme anglais pour Galleries, Libraries, Archives and Museums, ou Galeries, Bibliotheques, Archives et Musees). Chaque dissertation se focalise sur un projet particulier : sur une exposition numerique de la collection precieuse d’hippocampes du Musee Redpath ; sur une collection numerique de livres de la Renaissance publies par l’imprimeur-editeur Aldus Manutius, ce qui se trouve dans les Collections Speciales de la Bibliotheque de l’Universite Simon Fraser ; et sur une exposition numerique de livres Pre-Raphaelite venant de l’epoque victorienne qui a eu lieu a la Bibliotheque de l’Universite de Victoria. En decrivant ces projets, ces dissertations revelent des modeles emergents de pedagogie numerique qui necessitent la collaboration entre des etudiants, des membres de faculte et des bibliothecaires. Lisa Goddard et Rebecca Dowson, des bibliothecaires academiques qui se specialisent dans l’erudition numerique de l’Universite de Victoria et de l’Universite Simon Fraser, repondent a ces dissertations, en donnant leur perspective sur ce que les collaborations etudiant-GLAM contribuent a la mission des bibliotheques academiques. Mots-cles: institutions GLAM; humanites numeriques (DH); exposition numerique; curation numerique; metadonnees descriptives; pedagogie numerique
Highlights
Five years have passed since the quincentenary of the death of Renaissance Italy’s best-known printer-publisher, Aldus Manutius
This paper focuses on a student-led digital exhibit project completed in collaboration with the Redpath Museum in Montreal
Our experience working with the Redpath Museum was positive, but we recognize the problematic nature of unpaid internships, practicums and other positions of a voluntary capacity, in the realm of GLAMs
Summary
Five years have passed since the quincentenary of the death of Renaissance Italy’s best-known printer-publisher, Aldus Manutius (ca. 1451–1515). As a recent project hosted by the Consortium of European Research Libraries (CERL) revealed (Sachet 2016), the scale and variety of initiatives organized across the globe in the wake of the latest Aldine anniversary attests to both Aldus’s international stature and the enduring relevance of his work. The project, led by the Publishing Program at Simon Fraser University (SFU) with the support of SFU Library Special Collections, seeks to make available online a significant portion of SFU’s Wosk– McDonald Aldine Collection through a public-facing website: Aldus@SFU (2015). The website currently showcases 21 fully digitized volumes published during Aldus’s lifetime, between 1501 and 1515, and plans are in the works to feature a new group of 26 digitized Aldines, spanning from 1515 to 1529, on a new and improved version of the website
