Transformative Digital Humanities takes a two-pronged approach to
the digital humanities: it examines the distinct kinds of work
currently being undertaken in the field, while also addressing
current issues in the digital humanities, including sustainability,
accessibility, interdisciplinarity, and funding. With contributions
from humanities and LIS scholars based in China, Canada, England,
Germany, Spain, and the United States, this collection of case
studies provides a framework for readers to develop new projects as
well as to see how existing projects might continue to develop over
time. This volume also participates in the current digital
humanities conversation by bringing forward emerging voices that
offer new options for cooperation, by demonstrating how the digital
humanities can become a tool for activism, and by illustrating the
potential of the digital humanities to reexamine and reconstitute
existing canons. Transformative Digital Humanities considers what
sorts of challenges still exist in the field and suggests how they
might be addressed. As such, the book will be essential reading for
academics and students engaged in the study of information science
and digital humanities. It should also be of great interest to
practitioners around the globe.
Collecting important original essays by librarians and
archivists - all of whom are actively engaged in building digital
collections - Digital Scholarship details both challenges and
proven solutions in establishing, maintaining, and servicing
digital scholarship in the humanities. This volume further explores
the ways in which the humanities have benefited from the ability to
digitize text and page images of historic documents, mine large
corpuses of texts and other forms of records, and assemble widely
dispersed cultural objects into common repositories for comparison
and analysis--making new research questions and methods possible
for the first time.
The ten notable scholars included in Digital Scholarship offer a
balanced view of the strengths and weaknesses of various approaches
to digitization, reporting both progress and problems, examining
new business models, new forms of partnerships, and the new
technologies and resources that make many more library and archival
services available. Librarians and library staff everywhere will
find Digital Scholarship an essential text for the modern library
and an illuminating resource for anyone looking to understand the
changing face of research in the electronic age.

Professional publication can take your career to the next level.
Use this guide to learn the best ways to share your expertise and
show commitment to the profession through publishing. Even if
you're not yet confident about your experience, ideas, or writing
skills, more than likely, you're ready to consider publishing. This
practical guide will supply the encouragement and direction for you
to effectively communicate using the written word and start
publishing, which will likely serve to boost your career. It
explains the difference between traditional and self-publishing;
supplies advice on picking a publisher and working successfully
with a publisher; and provides useful information on copyright,
open access publishing, and contract signing. While geared to all
librarians, this book also includes text intended specifically for
librarians on the tenure track and those who wish to experiment
with new media. The book supplies writing templates that make it
simple to write various types of communication, such as a letter to
the editor, effective emails and memos, or compelling letter of
recommendation; a news release, newsletter, or feature story; and
conference proceedings, peer-reviewed articles, technical manuals
or brochures. You'll also learn how to write a proposal for a book
or journal article to submit to a publisher and how to turn your
master's thesis or doctoral thesis into a published work. Any
librarian who is serious about advancing their career will find
this an invaluable resource.
This book provides practical information and insights to library
administrators and building plan team members at academic and
public libraries who are considering or starting a library
expansion or reconfiguration of existing space. Building a new
library or expanding or renovating an existing building brings up a
host of questions and concerns, not the least of which involves the
future of the library. This book addresses those issues in light of
an overarching positive vision of libraries and their evolving
purposes and roles in the 21st century. This guide identifies and
addresses all of the steps in the building process, including
preparing the request for proposal (RFP), selecting the right
architect for the job, developing a financial contingency plan, and
managing stakeholders' expectations. The book presents both the
perspectives and experience of library administrators and
management personnel as well as the insights of accomplished
library architects and designers. It provides thorough, practical,
and current guidance in a process that library administrators often
find daunting and "risk immersive." Reading this book is like
sitting down with a knowledgeable, impartial consultant before
beginning a major renovation project-a tremendous asset for library
administrators as well as architectural firms. Covers all of the
steps in the building process, from preparing the RFP and selecting
an architect to developing a financial contingency plan and
managing community and staff expectations Includes contributions
from some of the most accomplished library architects and designers
from across the nation Presents information of great relevance and
interest to library administrators as well as to architectural
firms that work with libraries
