How librarians can partner with you

St. Kate's librarians can offer expertise in:

"At its core, DH shares the most basic goal with the library - accessibility of information. The multitude of DH projects aim to take cultural materials that were previously undiscoverable digitally, the very materials humanities scholars address and utilize for their work, and connect them to a new, broad audience.”

~Micah Vandegrift, "What is Digital Humanities and What's it Doing in the Library"
