About the Event
What are the digital humanities and what do they mean for libraries? In this session, Karin Dalziel and Elizabeth Lorang from the Center for Digital Research in the Humanities at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, will explore major trends in the emerging field of digital humanities.
"The digital humanities, also known as humanities computing, is a field of study, research, teaching, and invention concerned with the intersection of computing and the disciplines of the humanities. It is methodological by nature and interdisciplinary in scope. It involves investigation, analysis, synthesis and presentation of information in electronic form. It studies how these media affect the disciplines in which they are used, and what these disciplines have to contribute to our knowledge of computing."
