Today I will be talking about “the digital humanities” (DH) for the Library, Publishing and Information Society seminar at City University London (#citylis).
We will go from the definitional debate and a bit of history to infrastructural issues; we will do an overview of major trends and terminology, talk briefly about the digital humanities in the UK and major international networks, and will aim at finishing thinking about DH in libraries and strategic challenges.
I am honoured to say Dr Lee Skallerup will be joining us live from Kentucky, thanks to that technology known as ‘the Web’, to discuss her views on DH, ‘the privilege of building’, access, etc.

My passion is creating opportunities for discovery, creativity and innovation. I am an advocate for enhanced access to information as a public good. I enjoy fostering engagement and openness, facilitating collaboration and mentoring.
My main focus is multi-disciplinary and involves practically and theoretically connecting the dots between varied, closely-related fields and topics: comics studies; human-computer interaction design, library and information science, digital humanities, scholarly communications, publishing studies, digital innovation and material culture, intellectual rights and open science, access, data and educational resources.
I love writing and spreading the word about the things I believe in. I love higher education and the Internet and I define myself as a digital scholarship advocate. I love working collaboratively and on my own. You can still follow me and/or contact me via Twitter @ernestopriego.
