Digital humanities, graduate students and librarians
The document summarizes a presentation given at the ATLA Annual Conference in Denver, CO about digital humanities, graduate students, and librarians. It discusses a 15th century illuminated manuscript called the Morisset Hours and how digital tools could be used to enhance research on it. The presentation provides questions librarians should ask students about their digital humanities projects, useful resources for digital humanities, how to identify potential student projects, and tools that librarians could suggest to students for digital display, analysis and publishing of their work online. It promotes collaboration between librarians and students on digital humanities as a way to develop new skills and support innovative humanities research.
