The Centre for Digital Scholarship, at the heart of the Weston Library, had a successful first term hosting talks, seminars, workshops, and drop-ins.
Speakers came from across the University and from the international academic community, drawing audiences at all student levels and career stages, as well as professional staff from the Museums and Libraries, academic visitors to the University and members of the public.
Working in partnership with colleagues across the Bodleian and the wider University, the Centre provides a hub for sharing ideas and practices in digital scholarship across disciplines.
