4. Knowledge Organization
• “Stephen Ramsay (2010) has linked DH to one of the oldest
functions of the library, namely knowledge organization:
• “Of all scholarly pursuits, Digital Humanities most clearly
represents the spirit that animated the ancient foundations at
Alexandria, Pergamum, and Memphis, the great monastic
libraries of the Middle Ages, and even the first research libraries
of the German Enlightenment. It is obsessed with varieties of
representation, the organization of knowledge, the technology of
communication and dissemination, and the production of useful
tools for scholarly inquiry.”
“Digital Humanities and Libraries: A Conceptual Model” By Chris Alen Sula

Humanities
1. “DH encompasses a wide range of definitions, activities --
and controversies.”
2. “DH invites—and demands—collaboration with parties
outside of the library.”
3. “Librarians need additional training and education in order
to contribute effectively.”
4. “Data offers many possibilities for library contributions.”
This edition of Keeping Up With... was written by Jennifer L. Adams and Kevin B. Gunn
