The pilot Center was launched in the Fall of 2022, but has existed within the Library since 2020. A larger center is being built as part of the third floor renovations in Bartle Library. In the meantime the pilot Center is available for the Digital Scholarship Community on campus to utilize for in-person and hybrid meetings, workshops or one-off class instruction sessions. 

Reserving the center

You must be a faculty, staff, graduate student or undergraduate student member of Binghamton University in order to reserve the pilot Digital Scholarship Center. 

Currently, the pilot Center may be reserved for the following: requested class instruction sessions, workshops and events affiliated with the Digital Scholarship community on campus or Digital Scholarship related group meetings. We reserve the right to deny requests that do not fit within the purpose of the center. 

You may reserve the center by following this link, or filling out the form below. 

Using the room 

If you are holding a class session, workshop or event in the Center we recommend bringing your own laptop, or using one of the center's, to plug into either the projector or the TV screen to display any media or presentations you will be showing. You will need to have an HDMI port on your laptop or the appropriate adapter. The center has some adapters available, but cannot guarantee having the one you will need. 

If you wish to use the conferencing equipment you will also need a standard sized USB port on your laptop or an adaptor. 

The digital scholarship team is more than happy to set up the room for your event or workshop, just let us know what equipment you need and how you may like the tables and chairs configured.
