What is Digital Scholarship?

Digital scholarship is not a unified approach to research, teaching, or scholarly publishing, but in general it refers to the use of digital tools and methods in order to ask new research questions, to provide new insights into data using computational methods, to support critical engagement in the classroom, or to communicate the results of scholarship using interactive, multimedia platforms.

The Digital Scholarship Studio and Network, which opened Fall 2019 on the 3rd floor of Lockwood Library, serves as a hub connecting the diverse communities at UB who engage with digital tools and methodologies in their research, teaching, and publishing. We offer consultations on digital scholarship projects and working with humanities and social sciences data, and we host workshops and other events that bring together folks working across disciplines on digital scholarship projects and methodologies.

A Short Guide to the Digital_Humanities, by Jeffrey Schnapp. MIT Press, 2012.

"As digital methodologies, tools, and skills become increasingly central to work in the humanities, questions regarding fundamentals, project outcomes, assessment, and design have become urgent. The specifications provide a set of checklists to guide those who do work in the Digital Humanities, as well as those who are asked to assess and fund Digital Humanities scholars, projects, and initiatives."
