Digital Humanities: Implications for Librarians, Libraries, and Librarianship in Journal of College & Undergraduate Libraries #DH

Although it's been out for almost a year now, I'm excited to have read the DH-themed issue in College & Undergraduate Libraries.  Volume 24's Digital Humanities: Implications for Librarians, Libraries, and Librarianship is a special issue that reflects some of the current challenges that occupy librarians who are engaging the academic community in the digital humanities.  Some of the authors are familiar names and that's not surprising as many are at the top of their fields in DH.

In College & Undergraduate Libraries, this special issue has thirty articles on various topics that have been organized around six main themes: theoretical and critical issues, transforming traditional collections, models of collaboration, planning and project management, the ACRL Framework for Information Literacy for Higher Education, and embedded librarian instruction.   I enjoyed all of these pieces and it is a reflection of the work that is emerging at the intersection of academic libraries and digital scholarship in the humanities and social sciences.   It's good timing as Megan Meredity-Lobay and my DH-themed issue in Digital Library Perspectives is coming out soon, too.  Stay tuned for more on that.  In the meantime, take a look at the following articles!
