Library and Information Science: Digital Humanities

Digital Humanities Librarianship Description

From the University of Iowa School of Library and Information Science's website:

"Digital humanities is field that seeks to apply digital methods to the study of humanities topics. This is a broad field that includes many job titles and specializations, but librarians in this field often work at academic libraries. Many academic libraries now have digital humanities studios where librarians will collaborate with researchers to develop projects such as digital exhibits, interactive maps, and data visualization. Education in digital humanities librarianship can also lead to careers in archives and museums in roles that involve outreach, archiving born-digital materials, and digitizing physical materials. This field offers career opportunities for individuals with strong tech skills and an interest in collaborating with teams to finish special projects."
