Summary:
Head of the Leiden University Libraries' (UBL) Centre for Digital Scholarship, Alenka Prinčič, writes about the past and future of digital scholarship at the UBL.
When I started at the Leiden University Libraries (UBL) as Head of the Centre for Digital Scholarship about three years ago, I would sometimes get a question, a phone call usually, on what kind of scholarships we offer to support education. While explaining that we do not deal with financial support for learning or doing research, I realised that I too needed to find the right words to explain what ‘digital scholarship’ really means.
