“…Giannetti, F. 38 recommended the reading of text encoding initiatives as a way into both critical library pedagogy, and digital humanities approach, especially those that place on lesser-known artists or live materials like letters. these projects can be accomplished on a smaller scale by reusing and adapting digital humanities community-shared methods and software, requiring less assistance from institutional partners in terms of technology and infrastructure, which may not be available in low-resource institutional settings.…”

The term “Digital Humanities (DH)” suggests a sub-field of the humanities that makes the ideal utilisation of digital media, as well as the practices and instructions that are naturally associated with it, to explore a broad spectrum of topics. This sub-field is fast developing an increasingly significant sphere of academic research. The conversion to digital has brought about a considerable transformation to several underlying library services, and one of the most fundamental examples of a field where a basic foundation of digital skills can be used to promote the development of an emerging discipline is the field of digital humanities. In the past, only a few studies on digital humanities were conducted. There was a disparity in the amount of research done on the role of librarians concerning digital humanities libraries. This article presents a comprehensive review of previous literature on “Digital Humanities and Libraries,” which included contributions from a diverse range of authors. These factors include the origins and history of DH and libraries, as well as the current state of DH and libraries. The theory and concepts of digital humanities as a field of study are examined, as well as the potential mapping of these theories and concepts to traditional university library collections and services. The research concluded that effective cultural heritage digital initiatives are best carried out through the formation of constructive partnerships between DH scholars and community groups.

“…Digital humanities offers library professionals a rich framework for virtual instruction methodologies. When libraries can combine archival instruction with digital humanities, Giannetti (2019) argues, they are able to teach using their collections while also introducing students to valuable digital humanities tools. Faculty relationships with archives staff allow for a mutually beneficial system where students have the opportunity to work with rare materials, both raising awareness of their existence and keeping their interest in the coursework (Vetter, 2014).…”

When the world began to take notice of the growing risks of COVID-19 in early spring 2020, the University of South Florida Libraries–Tampa Special Collections shifted to virtual instruction sessions to provide students with access to rare books and primary-source archival materials. To respond to the need for a quick shift to online instruction, the department formulated a plan to support students with an open-access digital learning experience using ArcGIS StoryMaps. Building on critical digital pedagogy and feminist digital humanities, the sessions provided online teaching resources for faculty who could not schedule students for physical visits. Over the first year of remote work, the department created sessions for 15 course sections. Looking to the future, Special Collections will continue providing the option of virtual sessions as part of its instruction. The digital nature of the courses lends to a recursive pedagogy, allowing for continued adaptation that is complimentary to academic cycles.

“…DH librarians' roles require understanding of how technologies serve and reframe new scholarship and methodologies and how existing values, power dynamics, and practices are reflected in knowledge production (Jacobs & Murgu, 2017, p. 10). Whereas Seefeldt and Thomas (2009, p. 5) argue librarians manage product, rather than process, Giannetti (2019) argues that participating in both contributes positively to DH and strengthens knowledge production. Giannetti (2019, p. 8) views librarians' engagement in the process of producing and encoding digital texts as an inherently political act.…”
