Recently, the ATS team came together to answer the question: What is our value to Stanford? The Program is quite unique in that we report through the Library, but we have our offices and spend the majority of our time (officially 80%) within the unit (department, program, or center) where we are assigned. This is an unusual but wildly successful program. How does it work? What makes it successful? We identified eight themes and each wrote individually on one of those themes with the assumption that no single theme could capture the program as a whole. Instead the set of posts together draw a picture of the program that is more than merely the sum of the individual posts.
(collaborative post by all ATSs)
A special thanks goes to Quinn Dombrowksi, Digital Humanities Coordinator at Berkeley, for bringing together so many different groups from her campus to meet with us and share their experiences. Margaret Rhee, too, deserves thanks for her help promoting our visit among her colleagues at the Berkeley Center for New Media and for leading us on a walking tour to and through Sutardja Dai Hall. Our visit would not have been possible without their efforts.
