Abstract
By committing to two conversation-based concepts, David Lankes’s Mission for New Librarians and the “Scholarship as Conversation” Information Literacy Frame, Bethel University’s Library has established a leadership role in advocating and implementing digital humanities at a midsized liberal arts institution. Aligning the services and strategy of the Bethel University Digital Library (BUDL), Bethel’s institutional repository, with the lessons learned and relationships built through these conversations with administration, faculty, and staff has resulted in successful outcomes for the communication and implementation of innovative digital library and digital humanities initiatives.
