Bethany Nowviskie

Director, Digital Research & Scholarship, UVA Library

I help shape UVA’s support for digital scholarship by running a Library department that includes the Scholars’ Lab and a crack R&D team devoted to scholarly interfaces. The SLab combines the services and resources of UVA Library’s former GeoStat and Etext Centers with end-user assistance from ITC’s Research Computing Support group.

I am active in the ACH and on the board of NINES, for which I designed the Collex tool. My doctorate is in English, and I have worked in the digital humanities as a designer, manager, and editor since 1995. My own research lies in the intersection of traditional interpretive methods with innovative social and algorithmic tools.
