Description
The main theme of this Twitter chat will be exploring issues around labor, especially contingency, in the support, maintenance, and growth of digital scholarship in academic libraries.

Following the Twitter chat, one action item for this spring would be to create a survey that could be distributed to digital scholarship centers and librarians and eventually integrated into grant funding.

It would be great to also to build out the set of resources/references to share with participants of the Twitter chat.

Questions
#1 Introduce yourself. Do you do digital work in libraries? What kind of work? Have you ever been in a contingent position?
What are some of the forms of digital scholarship labor in your library, DS/DH center, and/or at your institution? How have you seen digital scholarship labor in libraries change over the last five-ten years?
How many people do you know working on digital scholarship who do not have permanent employment? How long are typical appointments? What percentage are “student workers”?
What routes do you see into permanent positions in digital scholarship environments’?
Who are the primary beneficiaries of our labor and how is that represented in your community of practice? In other words, who benefits most from digital contexts of contingent labor?
What would standards for DS labor positions need to include? Full benefits? Inclusion in unions? Opportunities for development (skill and professional)?
How do we ensure accreditation for contingent labor who work on digital projects? How to address the collaborative nature of digital scholarship without resorting to traditional hierarchical models?
