New Technologies for the Humanities

This book seeks to inform both scholars and librarians in the field of all the possibilities being offered by new computer technology, and to persuade them to pursue these possibilities. The book is divided into three sections. Part one considers the major current technical tools and computer based methods being used in humanities research. Part two examines how new technologies are changing the way that specific disciplines do research, and the final section discusses the changing roles of information services and providers, including questions relevant to libraries, archives and network access.
