Title: | Examining Digital Humanities Tools Used by Taiwanese Historians with the Digital Visitors and Residents Framework | Authors: | TIEN-I TSAI | Keywords: | Digital Humanities | Digital Visitors and Residents | Historians | Humanities Scholars | Issue Date: | 1-Jan-2023 | Journal Volume: | 14457 LNCS | Start page/Pages: | 248 - 254 | Source: | Lecture Notes in Computer Science (including subseries Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence and Lecture Notes in Bioinformatics) | Abstract: | This poster examines digital humanities tools used by historians in research contexts based on existing literature, and examines five top-used tools with the digital visitors and residents framework that helps describe digital tools in two dimensions—visitor/resident and personal/institutional. Through delineating literature on humanities scholars’ information practices throughout the decades, changes in historians’ information behavior were identified. Top-five digital cultural heritage collections and tools used by historians were selected for case analysis based on the tools used in papers presented at a renowned digital humanities conference in Taiwan—the DADH. The digital visitors and residents framework was then used to examine the tools used by historians. The findings indicate that all three types of tools were institutional-level tools. Among which, primary source databases either encourage users to be visitors or residents; GIS/map systems tend to be a tool for visitors, and text analysis platforms tend to be a tool for residents. The poster concludes with implications for information professionals who support humanities scholars in research contexts. |
