BUCKNELL UNIVERSITY DIGITAL SCHOLARSHIP CONFERENCE 2018

LEWISBURG, PA

About Event

Digital Scholarship: Expanding Access, Activism, and Advocacy

BUDSC18 will bring together a community of practitioners–faculty, researchers, librarians, artists, educational technologists, students, administrators, and others–committed to promoting access to and through digital scholarship. We consider “access” in the broadest possible terms: accessible formats and technologies, access through universal design for learning, access to a mode of expression, access to stories that might not otherwise be heard or that might be lost over time, access to understanding and knowledge once considered beyond reach.

BUCKNELL UNIVERSITY

With 3600 Undergraduate students, Bucknell University is a national university where liberal arts and professional programs complement each other.

CELEBRATING 5 YEARS

In 2019, the Bucknell University Digital Scholarship Conference is celebrating its fifth year.
