The Librarian as Digital Humanist: The Collaborative Role of the Research Library in Digital Humanities Projects
Year: 2010
Type: article
Abstract: Traditional modes of scholarship are being challenged by the introduction of open access and electronic publishing. Humanities disciplines are slower to embrace the application of digital tools to scholarly research. Digital humanities projects offer opportunities for collaboration between librarians, researchers, and social scientists. Examining the literature on library-faculty relationships indicates that collaboration remains low. Many libraries directly support digitization projects of primary sources, as libraries and archives maintain stewardship over these collections. Issues of access, preservation, and dissemination of digital scholarly content are examined. Digital humanities partnerships between faculty and librarians, as well as projects initiated by librarians are discussed.
