insightful article is published in New Review of Academic Librarianship and she will talk on this topic at the seminar Academic Librarians Communicating in the 21st Century: Perspectives from the New Review of Academic Librarianship at Maynooth University Library on the 20th October 2016. While the seminar is free booking is essential.
In this case study, relevant findings from
research that sought to determine the level of awareness of digital humanities
in Irish Libraries is examined. The research project, The Mary Martin Diary, is highlighted as an example of a
multidisciplinary collaboration project that utilized library communication
skills, project management skills, digital humanities tools and techniques, as
well as other online resources in its development. These skills and tools have
the potential to be applied to similar projects that librarians engage in.
Recommendations derived from this research highlight the practical application
of skills for information professionals and their roles in the development and
promotion of digital humanities content for research, teaching, and learning in
the modern academic library (abstract by Jane Burns
