The Journal of Library Administration Releases a Special Issue on Digital
Humanities


Routledge, part of the Taylor & Francis Group, is pleased to present a
special issue from the Journal of Library Administration entitled "Digital
Humanities in Libraries: New Models for Scholarly Engagement."

This important issue of the Journal of Library Administration, guest edited
by Barbara Rockenbach from Columbia University, examines the current and
potential role of libraries in the emerging area of digital humanities.
While the literature is vast, there are few publications that address the
intersection of libraries and digital humanities. The collection of articles
featured in this special issue put libraries and librarians in the center of
the discussion, rather than on its margins.

Several themes emerge in this issue that help guide library leaders involved
in, or considering support for, digital humanities or digital scholarship
including:

*	Contexts surrounding digital humanities in libraries and support for
these activities.
*	Human resources and relationship building, rather than technology at
the core of digital humanities support.
*	Tension between traditional notions of library service and new
models of user engagement.
*	The fact that digital humanities as a field has matured faster than
support structures within libraries.

The authors come from a range of institutions, medium to large public
research universities, large private research institutions and a public
library. This diversity of voices illustrates the varied landscape of
Digital Humanities in libraries and the great number of opportunities for
supporting this emerging trend in scholarship.

For a limited time, Routledge is offering a complimentary article from this
issue: Evolving
