What’s a Digital IS?

Have you ever thought of what research could look like in a digital space? Do you like to try new things or digital tools? This co-sponsored workshop hosted by Educational Technology and The College of Wooster Libraries will help give you a leg up on competition by thinking critically about the aspects of  a digital independent study. The workshop is recommended for first years, sophomores, and juniors who are just beginning to think about their Senior Independent Study projects. To register, visit: Events.
