 “Digital humanities” is a subset of
broader digital scholarship
practices.
 Digital Humanities involves not only
thinking through the challenges of
integrating digital assets,
publications, and resources into the
array of materials available to our
readers, but also understanding the
creative process that goes into the
resources and policies of other
institutions around the world.

3. Digital Humanities in practice
1. Studying users and
readers:
 It is important to seek to
understand the behaviours of
humanities researchers and
the users of cultural heritage
resources, in the context of
digital tools and resources, so
that they may be designed to
be more usable and
sustainable in the future.

4. 2. Social media for digital humanities
and community engagement:

podcasts and crowdsourcing

digital humanities. Because of
their ease of use, they offer an

information sharing,
collaboration, participation
and community engagement.
