During the COVID-19 Spring 2020 term, the UO Libraries Digital Scholarship Services department pivoted from in-person operations to remote work. DREAM Lab student employees worked to explore and rebuild pre-existing digital projects (2018-2020) that were built through partnerships and grant funding by librarians, technologists, and UO faculty. With coaching and supervision by Digital Scholarship Services librarians student workers learned and practiced the basics of building a digital scholarship project, and consulted with other specialists in the UO Libraries.
