Talk: “The Future is Now: Sustainability, Preservation, and Ongoing Access to Humanities Data”
Panel: The Digital Age Library

After graduating from Rice University with a degree in English, Molly Dolan worked for publishers both analog (Viking Penguin) and digital (Medscape.com). An interest in using technology to facilitate the delivery of information led her to the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, and the Graduate School of Library and Information Science, where she received her Master’s degree in 2004. She then worked as the school’s Project Coordinator for the development of the Digital Libraries Education Program, followed by enrollment in the Certificate of Advanced Study in Digital Libraries. While following this course of study, she has designed and built digital collections as part of the graduate library’s Digital Content Creation team, and is now working as a Research Assistant to develop a humanities data curation curriculum at the school. Her current research involves assessing the data curation needs and practices of digital humanities scholars in order to assist libraries in preserving their content.
