- Abstract:
- Abstract and slides for presentation for the Caribbean Digital III at Columbia University: http://caribbeandigitalnyc.net/2016/ Collaborating and community-building in the digital age, UF is a founding partner (2004) and the technical host of the Digital Library of the Caribbean (dLOC), a collaborative, international digital library. dLOC has grown into the largest open access collection of Caribbean materials with over 2 million pages of content, over 40 institutional partners, and over 1 million views each month. Now, dLOC is emphasizing additional activities with digital scholarship and the Digital Humanities (DH). To understand the needs of partner institutions and Caribbean Studies in collaboration with libraries and the full GLAMs (galleries, libraries, archives, and museums), dLOC is again traveling to meet with collaborators to gather and share information and support the community of practice for Caribbean libraries and digital scholarship. New opportunities and possibilities abound, especially following the launch of sx: archipelagos. More work is even more critically needed to connect as constellations of communities of practice to realize these possibilities together.
