This is a session for those of us who are digital humanities enthusiasts and users, but not technical whizzes or programmers.  How do we become better advocates for the digital humanities in our institutions? How do we integrate the development of digital libraries into our strategic plans/processes?  How do we find “best practices” for institutions wanting to create detailed repository plans? What would be the ideal staff composition and what would be the home department/school/college of such a staff? Obviously, this would vary with the size and mission of the university, but it would be useful for those of us trying to find donors or arguing for faculty/staff positions to know what staff, faculty, and infrastructure strategies have worked best at different types of institutions.
