Volunteers can participate in this remote study from home.
We are looking for:
Students in the library and information science field
Professionals involved with the humanities and/or digital humanities
Data managers and data curation practitioners
What’s in it for you:
Help to improve a scholarly resource
Get a sneak peek at the next phase of an evolving project before it launches
Learn more about data curation in the humanities
What’s in it for us:
Your feedback will help us design the website to meet user needs
