Digital Humanities

Welcome to the Research Guide in Digital Humanities!

The term "Digital Humanities" (usually abbreviated as DH) refers to both the specific application of digital tools to scholarly content (often, but not always, in the humanities), and a broader approach to academic scholarship overall. This research guide provides examples of specific digital tools that can help you with your research projects, but also includes a look at broader definitions of the field.

Look at the menu to the left to find an overview of Digital Humanities definitions, tools, and resources that could be useful in your research in many different areas.

The library offers five group study rooms, as well as a study room for graduate students. Two people must be present in order to obtain a key for a group study room. You choose your room, the date and time of your choice, and off you go! It's as easy as pie.

These rooms can be booked for a two-hour period using the LibCal system, available here.
