Description & Coverage
Description:

Digital Humanities is a burgeoning field of research and education concerned with the intersection of technology and history, philosophy, linguistics, literature, music, cultural studies, and the arts.

Supporting Digital Humanities for Knowledge Acquisition in Modern Libraries aims to stand at the forefront of this emerging discipline, targeting an audience of researchers and academicians, with a special focus on the role of libraries and library staff. In addition to a collection of chapters on crucial issues surrounding the digital humanities, this volume also includes a fascinating account of the painstaking restoration efforts surrounding a 110-year-old handwritten historical source document, the results of which (never before published on this scale) culminate in a full-color, 70-page photographic reproduction of the 1904 Diary of Anna Clift Smith.

Coverage:

The many academic areas covered in this publication include, but are not limited to:

  • Digital Humanities Methodology and Pedagogy
  • Digital Methods and Modes of Knowledge Acquisition
  • Examples of Digital Humanities Projects
  • Future Directions in the Discipline
  • International Digital Humanities Projects
  • Overview of Digital Humanities and Current Scholarship
  • Partnerships in Digital Humanities
  • Role of Librarians in Digital Humanities
  • Role of Libraries and Research Centers in the Digital Humanities Process
  • Role of Libraries in Supporting the Digital Humanities Instructor
