Digital Dialogs

Welcome to Digital Dialogs at the University of South Florida!

Welcome to Digital Dialogs!  This blog features topics in four topic sections designed to help you discover ways to incorporate digital collections, many of which are primary resources, into your projects.  We also cover tools that you could use to create multimedia projects of your topic, and provide examples of exhibits and other projects that have been created here at the University of South Florida Libraries.
  • Collections of Interest—highlighting digital collections at the USF Libraries
  • Featured Projects— recent and existing digital projects at the USF Libraries or that incorporate USF Libraries materials
  • Tools of the Trade—tools you can use to create and augment your own projects
  • Across the Academy—trends, news, and projects affecting, inspiring, or connected to our work
We look forward to developing an online resource that will invite conversation, encourage collaboration, and inspire your next digital exhibit or research project.
