This document discusses the design of the Library Lab at the University of Ghent. It begins by defining digital humanities as involving three groups: programmers, scholars, and libraries/repositories. It then discusses the role of libraries in digital humanities, including preservation, digitization, discovery/dissemination, and managing data. Reasons for having a digital humanities center are given, such as collecting expertise, enabling funding/stability for projects, and fostering collaboration. Digital humanities centers provide training, workshops, collections, tools, research support, and act as hubs connecting technology and scholars. Some centers are based in libraries. The document concludes by introducing the new Library Lab at the University of Ghent.
