We are now taking applications for three tuition fellowships to the 2017 Digital Humanities Summer Institute (DHSI) in Victoria, B.C.!
The Digital Humanities Summer Institute has grown by leaps and bounds, and we are excited to connect three “DLF-DHSI Cross-Pollinator Fellows” with its extensive offerings. There will be 49 courses and 15 short workshops in the summer of 2017 (June 5-9 and 12-16), with the University of Victoria Libraries and the Electronic Textual Cultures Lab hosting the Society for the History of Authorship, Reading and Publishing 2017 conference, “Technologies of the Book,” from June 9-12.
Members not interested in a tuition scholarship opportunity are welcome to register for DHSI courses at any time, using DLF discount codes available here: http://dhsi.org/registration.html. (You must be affiliated with a DLF member institution to use the codes. Courses fill quickly, so don’t delay!)

About DHSI
The Digital Humanities Summer Institute provides an ideal environment for discussing and learning about new computing technologies and how they are influencing teaching, research, dissemination, creation, and preservation in different disciplines, via a community-based approach.
A time of intensive coursework, seminars, and lectures, participants at DHSI share ideas and methods, and develop expertise in using advanced technologies. Every summer, the institute brings together faculty, staff, and students from the Arts, Humanities, Library, and Archives communities as well as independent scholars and participants from areas beyond.
Described by one participant as an event that “combines the best aspects of a skills workshop, international conference, and summer camp,” the DHSI prides itself on its friendly, informal, and collegial atmosphere. We invite you to join the DHSI community in Victoria for a time of focused practice, learning, and connecting with (and making new) friends and colleagues.
About the DLF Cross-Pollinator Awards
We make a growing number of travel and tuition grants available year-round to DLF members and to the broader community invested in digital library work. Many of these grants bring individuals from other communities to the DLF Forum, or help DLF practitioners who wish to build a dynamic and diverse peer network make it to conferences they may not otherwise attend.
Our goal is to create “cross-pollinators”—professionals who move freely among our (sometimes walled) gardens. In an increasingly networked world, DLF means to increase communication between all groups interested in the future of information, including museums, libraries, colleges and universities, and anyone working in digital collections and services.
