Chicago—91´«Ã½ Publishing eLearning Solutions announces a new facilitated eCourse, . Laura Braunstein will serve as the instructor for a 4-week facilitated eCourse starting on Monday, June 4, 2018.

Digital humanities (DH) has been a developing area of scholarship and practice over the past few decades. Defined as both the application of computational methods to the study and interpretation of cultural objects and as the study of computation and technology from a humanistic perspective, DH has many implications for libraries. DH is a community of practice that involves not just scholars, librarians, and technologists, but also students and public audiences.

In this course, digital humanities expert Laura Braunstein teaches you what library professionals and staff need to know in order to be effective collaborators with digital humanists and to be digital humanists themselves. You’ll learn how libraries of all sizes and types in all communities—not just academic research libraries—get involved with DH projects.
