![What is the role of the library in DH?
“[The] Digital Humanities revolution promotes a
fundamental reshaping of the research and
teaching landscape. It recasts the scholar as
curator and the curator as scholar, and, in so doing,
sets out both to reinvigorate scholarly practice by
means of an expanded set of possibilities and
demands, and to renew the scholarly mission of
museums, libraries, and archives.”

What is thedigital humanities? “The application of algorithmically facilitated search, retrieval, and critical processes that, originating in humanities-based work, have been demonstrated to have application far beyond. Associated with critical theory, this area is typified by interpretative studies that assist in our intellectual and aesthetic understanding of humanistic works.” A Companion to Digital Humanities, edited by Susan Schreibman, Ray Siemens, and John Unsworth (2004) green19@illinois.edu @greenharr 3

Editor's Notes
- #5 The American Memory archive at the Library of Congress; proprietary databases such as Eighteenth Century Collections Online and ARTStor; Google Books: digital collections are becoming increasingly instrumental in how humanities scholars find and use research resources. For the past couple decades, the focus was on quantity: How much material can a library or museum digitize and post online? (Zick 689) But now we in libraries ask: How can digital collections meet scholars’ research needs? In answer to this question, I’d like to briefly talk about The Bamboo Technology Project and within it, my study of humanities scholars and digital collections.
