        Subject: Summer workshop on Scalar at USC

Join the Scalar team June 24-28 for a week-long summer workshop at USC Libraries
in Los Angeles, California.

This five-day workshop is designed for librarians and others who wish to support
the use of Scalar for born-digital scholarship and cutting-edge, collections-
based digital pedagogy on their campus as well as those who wish to develop
their own projects showcasing institutional collections. The workshop will
provide attendees with comprehensive training in Scalar, including basic and
intermediate sessions in the platform as well as training, not offered anywhere
else, on Scalar’s new editorial and copy-editing feature-set. The workshop will
also include advanced sessions on collections integration with Scalar; enhanced
archiving of Scalar projects; use of Scalar's API for experimental works; and
setting up custom Scalar installations.

Attendees supporting Scalar at their institution will come away from this
weeklong workshop with in-depth strategies and a set of robust resources for
assisting faculty and students with the technical, structural, editorial, and
design decisions vital to Scalar projects. Attendees who wish to use Scalar for
their own project should come prepared with material, as they'll be guided by
the Scalar team, with collaborative white-boarding sessions and one-on-one
design meetings, in the development of their project while in residence at the
workshop.
