    Did you know...

...that the Library, the Instructional Technology Group (ITG), and the Whitney Digital Humanities Working Group are teaming up to offer Digital Humanities Office Hours at the Blue Dog Café in the HGS McDougal Center? Every Thursday from 1:30 to 3:30pm, a core group of Library and ITG staff will be available for informal consultation, demonstrations, and general discussion. All members of the Yale community are welcome; no previous engagement with Digital Humanities is necessary. We aim to create an environment for open discussion and exchange of ideas, tools, and experiences. Feel free to contact Peter Leonard if you have questions or would like to make an appointment for a different time.
