Digital humanities
is not a service.
So how should libraries
foster & sustain
scholarly digital
projects?
THE FACULTY WEBSITE PROBLEM
WHAT DOES ‘WEBSITE’
MEAN?
Wiki or blog
Custom database
Tools for collaboration
Integration with other platforms
Some combination of all these!
WHAT SUPPORT IS
NEEDED?
Single consultation
Semester-long course
collaboration
Open-ended commitment to
implement new tool or manage
scholarly digital collection
At New York University “we find ourselves challenged to respond
effectively to what we have come to call ‘the faculty website problem’
— an evergrowing number of requests for webbased spaces and
tools to collaborate on scholarly research and share the results.”
— Jennifer Vinopal & Monica McCormick
At Wake Forest, we scrambled to provide support for
18th-Century Common, a public humanities website and
flagship project of our Humanities Institute
