How do you decide whether or not to reference or use a digital resource that you find on the open web? How do you cite a digital work in ways that allow others to locate and reference the same information? If you are creating your own digital scholarly work, what can you do to ensure that its scholarly value will be clear to others? What factors influence whether and how digital scholarship persists?

This workshop will help graduate students across the disciplines -- but primarily in the humanities and social sciences -- evaluate digital scholarly works published openly online. Participants will learn ways to evaluate scholarly aspects of digital scholarly publications, appropriately cite those publications in their work, and credit the work of other contributors in their own digital works. Students will explore digital scholarly publications through hands-on activities and discuss and reflect on best practices. This workshop from Duke Libraries is led by Liz Milewicz, Director of the ScholarWorks Center for Open Scholarship, and Arianne Hartsell-Gundy, Head of the Humanities and Social Sciences Department.
