Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to illustrate in what ways electronic communication, and the use of information in the humanities, differs from the practice of ” hard” sciences, and to identify issues and problems that need to be tackled in that respect. It argues that the humanities form a challenging and potentially rewarding field for electronic communication, with requirements that are directly dependent upon the methodologies, intellectual traditions and practices of its constituent disciplines. It benefits from the views expressed in several recent reports, summarising the effects of information technology on arts and humanities research, and reflecting the urgency of establishing priorities in this field.
