Digital storytelling programs and events can be successful in a wide variety of settings, from libraries to museums to schools. In this chapter of “Digital Storytelling in Practice,” we'll look in depth at examples of four very different settings where digital storytelling has thrived–a suburban public library, a major research university, a museum and a public library in the Netherlands that is pursuing cutting-edge technology. While different situations require different efforts, we'll see that there are some requirements for a digital storytelling program that are the same regardless of the setting.
