digital humanities

The goal of NEERI2010 is to exchange ideas on a number of topics relevant for research infrastructures and to clear common grounds on the further development and application of these topics. NEERI focuses on what we share and what we can learn from each other. Examples of such commonalities are architectural issues, communication with users and integration of services and tools.

Digital technologies have the potential to transform the types of research questions that we ask in the Humanities, and to allow us to address traditional questions in new and exciting ways. Supporting the Digital Humanities will be a forum for the discussion of these innovations, and of the ways in which these new forms of research can be facilitated and supported.

Discipline: 

For me, research begins at Google.com from the comfort of my living room. I am not alone. Many students, undergraduate to more experienced PhD researchers, do the same and there is good reason for it. The library search experience is often disappointing, confusing and restricting. With the advent of Google Scholar and Google Books, there is even less of a reason to physically go to the library to begin research.
