The libraries also provide a number of workshops available as a calendar here.
We will also gladly offer on-demand workshops for Text Mining, Mapping, Digital Exhibits, and many other topics. Workshops we are offering or have offered in the past include:
Workshops in this series will introduce participants to computational text analysis. These tools can help researchers discover new patterns of language use and thought, to visualize changes in those patterns over time and across spatial boundaries.
These workshops will demonstrate a variety of tools and methods for sharing your research and content on the web.
Our mapping workshops cover topics ranging from analysis with ArcGIS to Mapping your Data.
These workshops explore methods for obtaining, preserving and working with your data.

Become a member of the Digital Scholarship team! DS interns will work together with Digital Scholarship staff to build digital projects requested by Penn faculty, students, and researchers. Past projects include Python/Django web applications and databases for faculty research projects, custom PHP templates, plugins, and themes for Content Management Systems such as Omeka and Scalar, and web-mapping projects. Check out our projects page to learn more about what we do.
All interns receive training in command line, Git, and the languages necessary to complete their projects!
Students of any program and background are encouraged to apply! We do not require a CS background, but we do require an interest in learning!
