The following taxonomy of DH research activities and objects has been developed for use by community-driven sites and projects that aim to structure information relevant to digital humanities and make it more easily discoverable. The taxonomy is expected to be particularly useful to endeavors aiming to collect information on digital humanities tools, methods, projects, or readings.
The taxonomy is structured into several broad goals which roughly correspond to phases of the research process. Inside each of these domains, we indicate a closed list of methods, which refer to activities within the scope of the broader goal; they specify what is being done, but do not indicate how. Methods are determined by research questions. Although this is a closed list, it may be periodically revised.
This site is designed to help librarians share workflows and best practices across institutions. If you are interested in contributing to the site, please let us know!
We make no claim to authoring/creating the workflows presented here (except, of course, when they are ours!) Wherever possible, we list those people and institutions responsible for developing the workflows.
We publish novice-friendly, peer-reviewed tutorials that help humanists learn a wide range of digital tools, techniques, and workflows to facilitate research and teaching. We are committed to fostering a diverse and inclusive community of editors, writers, and readers.
Data Literacy is an emerging area of interest for librarians. As with many emerging and interdisciplinary fields, data literacy means different things to interested stakeholders and experts. Rather than trying to produce a definitive explanation of what data literacy means on this site we seek to present resources that depict multiple viewpoints to enable you, the reader, to make your own decisions based on your specific contexts and needs.
However, we strongly believe that librarians have a role to play in data literacy and that the work librarians and others have invested in understanding and responding to information literacy can serve as a foundation for this role. Therefore, we are employing the term "Data Information Literacy" (DIL) on this site to make this connection clear and to keep it at the forefront of the discussion as we define our roles and responsibilities in this space.
This wiki was created to be a one-stop shop for great ideas and information for all types of librarians. All over the world, librarians are developing successful programs and doing innovative things with technology that no one outside of their library knows about. There are lots of great blogs out there sharing information about the profession, but there is no one place where all of this information is collected and organized. That's what we're trying to do.
SLiMS (Senayan Library Management System) is a free and open source library management system loaded with features even better than commercial and proprietary library systems.
