This summer really has been a great introduction to summer research. I got to learn about the principles and tools of Digital Scholarship and apply them to a project of my own interest. I felt like through doing this project, I was more connected to Burmese alumni. In terms of outcomes, I consider being able…

I still don’t have content and Gettysburg was…a bit of a disaster. I was able to convey my project though, but it would have been better if I had content ready to go. Talking to the students from Gettysburg was interesting and I saw a trend that Gettysburg students used WordPress a lot while we…

Project Summary Excerpt The Bucknell-Burma Connection has been an on-and-off topic at Bucknell from the beginning of the relationship in 1848 when Shaw Loo first came to Bucknell until now. I wanted to take a look at all the scattered information available online and offline, and compile it into a single accessible website. Furthermore, I…

I was really excited to be accepted as part of the DSSRF cohort this summer because I saw this not only as an opportunity to explore what I was interested in but also build on existing skills. While I did take a class in Digital Scholarship in my first year, I thought that being in…
