Space 154, 1st Floor, Walsh Library
Digital Humanities & Your Career
Using LinkedIn, a professional organization website, or other relevant job posting site, identify a position you would be interested in applying for after graduation. In what ways would DH skills help you succeed in this position? We will look at some trends in hiring and look to find the overlap between these roles and the types of analytical and technical skills used in DH projects. Bring a copy of the description, your cover letter and resume to discuss how you can highlight your experience with DH projects during your program when applying for positions.

Thursday, March 15th, 5 p.m. – 7 p.m.
Space 154, 1st Floor, Walsh Library
Digital Humanities Hack-a-Thon
Whether you are new to DH or have experience contributing to a project, this hackathon is the perfect opportunity to learn more about DH by contributing to ongoing projects of SHU faculty. Participants will have a variety of tasks to choose from, including information gathering, working in WordPress, and editing. Please bring a laptop, power cord, and enthusiasm for DH. Even if you are unable to complete a task, we encourage you to attend to gain a deeper understanding of the varied field of digital humanities. Attendees who complete tasks will earn a digital badge highlighting the DH skill acquired during the hackathon.

Wednesday, April 11
Space 154, 1st Floor, Walsh Library
DH Project Presentations
Seton Hall’s HASTAC Scholars and graduate students from other institutions will present their current DH projects. These presentation will introduce some of the varied tools graduate students use in digital humanities scholarship.

OOMF charging bricks are here!

#SHU_Libraries is pleased to announce that we have acquired 36 Oomf portable charging bricks that are now available for use!

You can checkout a brick at our circulation desk for in-library use only, and have a steady power supply with you wherever you are in the building!

The bricks look like this:

Oomf omnicharge brick

What is it exactly?

The Oomf Omnicharge is a 4.5 X 4.5 inch battery powered brick that weighs less than 1.5 pounds.

It features an AC outlet and 2 USB outlets. It supports charging for all devices including all laptop computers.

How do I get it and use it?

  1. Search for the Oomf app through your phone’s app store, then download the app. You’ll need to create and register an account through the app. Oomf chargers are free to use but you must have a valid credit card number to secure your registration.
  2. Once your Oomf app is set up, come to the circulation desk with your SHU ID and fill out a (one-time) loan agreement form. The charging brick will be checked out to your library account.
  3. You’ll then open the Oomf app on your phone, and place your phone on top of the brick to activate it.
  4. You’ll have the brick for 6 hours, to use in-library. Simply plug any of your devices into the brick to charge them.
  5. A fully charged brick, depending on how many and what types of devices are connected to it, can provide continuous power for up to 5.5 hours.

Power to the People!
