ABSTRACT

This purpose of this paper is to review literature from the digital humanities (DH), academic librarianship, and critical librarianship, focusing on potential roles for Australian academic librarians in the DH. After defining DH and its relationship with academic librarianship, the difference between service and collaborative models is discussed. This includes how service models characterise current perceptions of DH librarians’ roles. Findings of this review indicate that there are, indeed, roles for librarians in the DH that can contribute to scholarly partnerships. These roles build on the shared values of librarianship and the humanities and are related to the critical and theoretical foundations of the DH. Critical librarianship provides a framework for roles that can contribute to knowledge production, not just to service provision. This framework can also work towards increasing representation and accessibility in DH scholarship.

摘要

本文的目的是回顾数字人文 (DH)、学术图书馆学和批判图书馆学的文献，重点关注澳大利亚学术图书馆员在 DH 中的潜在作用。在定义了 DH 及其与学术图书馆的关系之后，讨论了服务模式和协作模式之间的区别。这包括服务模型如何表征当前对 DH 图书馆员角色的看法。本综述的结果表明，DH 中的图书馆员确实可以为学术伙伴关系做出贡献。这些角色建立在图书馆学和人文学科的共同价值观之上，并与卫生署的批判和理论基础有关。批判性图书馆学为有助于知识生产而不仅仅是服务提供的角色提供了一个框架。
