It pays special attention to the critical role of librarians in building sustainable programs. It also examines how libraries can support the use of digital scholarship tools and techniques in undergraduate education. Academic libraries are nexuses of research and technology; as such, they provide fertile ground for cultivating and curating digital scholarship. However, adding digital humanities to library service models requires a clear understanding of the resources and skills required. Integrating digital scholarship into existing models calls for a reimagining of the roles of libraries and librarians. In many cases, these reimagined roles call for expanded responsibilities, often in the areas of collaborative instruction and digital asset management, and in turn these expanded responsibilities can strain already stretched resources. Laying the Foundation provides practical solutions to the challenges of successfully incorporating digital humanities programs into existing library services. Collectively, its authors argue that librarians are critical resources for teaching digital humanities to undergraduate students and that libraries are essential for publishing, preserving, and making accessible digital scholarship.Charleston insights in library, archival, and information sciences.Academic librariesUnited StatesHumanities librariesUnited StatesHumanitiesDigital librariesHumanitiesResearchData processingHumanitiesElectronic information resourcesHumanitiesStudy and teaching (Higher)United StatesElectronic books.Academic librariesHumanities librariesHumanitiesDigital libraries.HumanitiesResearchData processing.HumanitiesElectronic information resources.HumanitiesStudy and teaching (Higher)White John W.1974-Gilbert Heather1976-UkMaJRU9910136808303321Laying the foundation2105977UNINA
