Upcoming Events
[RCR] Introduction to Minimal Computing
[Online] This workshop introduces fundamental concepts and practices of minimal computing, with a focus on two key ethical areas: reducing the environmental impacts of computation and ensuring broad, equitable access to digital resources by minimizing their computational dependencies. Participants will explore how to balance those ethical imperatives with the computational requirements of scholarship, particularly in the digital humanities. Specific topics of discussion will include static website generation and maintenance, accessibility via minimal design, and the types of foundational knowledge required to facilitate a minimal approach to computation for research.
No previous experience with digital scholarship tools or methods is required.
Spring Tea Break

Hey there, tea lovers 🍵 Join us for a tea-lightful tea party during Spring Break! This event is a fun, social, and relaxing way for those on campus during the break to sip some delicious teas, nibble on tasty treats, and enjoy brew-tiful conversations with your fellow Blue Devils. Whether you're looking to leaf your worries behind, make new friends, or just relax and unwind, this tea party is the perfect way to blossom and connect 🌼 We can't wait to see you there!
Location: Edge Lounge, 1st floor of Bostock Library
Generative AI for Research
Generative AI tools, such as ChatGPT, are profoundly changing the way people search, write, and communicate their research. In this workshop, we’ll look under the hood of GAI research tools to get a better understanding of how they work and what ethical considerations students and researchers should be aware of when using them. We will look at several AI research tools (Elicit, Inquisite, and Consensus) that can help you find and analyze vast networks of scientific literature.
Hannah Rozear is the Librarian for Biological Science and Global Health at Duke University. She consults with graduate students and faculty at Duke engaged in evidence synthesis projects in her liaison areas.
** A Zoom link will be sent via email to registered participants of this workshop **
The content of the workshop may be recorded. If you are uncomfortable with a recording being published, please contact the presenter at any time prior to the conclusion of the workshop.
Hosted by Duke University Libraries in collaboration with Pratt Graduate Communications and Intercultural Programs.
About Us
Duke Libraries Digital Scholarship & Publishing Services department collaborates with researchers in the humanities and interpretive social sciences, at any level of study, to plan and build digital research projects. We supply consultation on technical matters, project management, and best practices for a wide range of technologically-engaged research. We also encourage learning and experimentation in digital scholarship through exploratory projects, programs of hands-on instruction, graduate student internships, and resources and programming in The Edge / Murthy Digital Studio.
