Digital Scholarship at UCSC Libraries
Audio
Audio is an increasingly popular medium for scholars and students of all disciplines and levels. Telling a story, communicating an argument, sharing an interaction, through something like a podcast can be powerful both for the producer and the listener. The Digital Scholarship Department offers robust support for all phases of audio production, from recording, to editing, to storyboarding and project workflow.
Here you'll find a growing list of tutorials and recorded workshops around both audio editing software and recording, editing, and audio project management.

Spaces
There are an enormous number of good quality resources out there on audio editing, audio storytelling, and much more. Here are a few we like. You'll note that, in our opinion, a lot of the good stuff comes from the world of public radio podcasting.
The land on which we gather is the unceded territory of the Awaswas-speaking Uypi Tribe. The Amah Mutsun Tribal Band, comprised of the descendants of indigenous people taken to missions Santa Cruz and San Juan Bautista during Spanish colonization of the Central Coast, is today working hard to restore traditional stewardship practices on these lands and heal from historical trauma.
The land acknowledgement used at UC Santa Cruz was developed in partnership with the Amah Mutsun Tribal Band Chairman and the Amah Mutsun Relearning Program at the UCSC Arboretum.
