A Bibliography

I originally prepared this bibliography for the Association of Research Libraries’ Digital Humanities SPEC Kit, an abstract of which is available here. I try to update this list frequently. Additions welcome.

I hope that this list provides useful background reading, but for the latest-and-greatest writing on librarianship and digital humanities, please see dh+lib, a fantastic blog run by the DH Discussion Group of the Association of College and Research Libraries. You can also follow @DHandLib on Twitter.

To read portions of this list in convenient ebook form, check out this digital humanities and libraries ebook, the work of a group of librarians at THATCamp ACRL in April 2013.
