Addressing key recommendations in the American Council of Learned Societies’ Commission on Cyberinfrastructure for the Humanities and Social Sciences report, Our Cultural Commonwealth, the College of Information Studies at the University of Maryland and the schools of information at the University of Michigan and the University of Texas at Austin will partner with three digital humanities centers -- the Maryland Institute for Technology in the Humanities at the University of Maryland, the Center for Digital Research in the Humanities at the University of Nebraska, and MATRIX, the centre for Humane Arts, Letters, and Social Sciences at Michigan State University -- to create eighteen internships for Master’s of Library Science students interested in careers in digital humanities centers and/or digital libraries. This project will strengthen the relationship between digital humanities centers and the Library and Information Science professions by providing opportunities for collaborative research between the digital humanities centers’ staffs and Library and Information Science faculty, while providing practical, “cutting-edge” learning experiences for graduate students.
