University of Richmond President Edward L. Ayers, a noted American South historian and digital scholarship pioneer who founded his university’s Digital Scholarship Lab, will speak at the grand opening of The Research Commons in Emory University’s Robert W. Woodruff Library.
The Research Commons in the Woodruff Library, which had a soft opening in October, allows graduate students and faculty members to work on multidisciplinary projects that integrate scholarship with technology and new forms of media, with assistance from a community of scholars and DiSC staff members.
