How can digital humanities projects create successful cross-departmental collaborations with libraries?  Why should we replace the title "digital humanities" with "collaborative humanities" or "public humanities"?  James Elmborg, Nicole Saylor, Jon Winet, and Ed Folsom discuss sources of and solutions to the disconnect between humanities scholars and librarians. 

How can technology facilitate the assimilation rather than just the transfer of information for our students?  Harvard Professor of Physics Eric Mazur discusses how to replace information technology with education technology.

Even if you don't do much archival research, you might know some of the big archival collections: the British Library, the Huntington Library, the Folger Shakespeare Library.  Fewer scholars know about smaller archives, like the Chawton House Library in Winchester or the Iowa Women's Archive at my home University of Iowa.  However, we sometimes forget that these small archives can offer a level of librarian specialization, expertise and personal attention that larger archives cannot. 

The same trend holds true in our digital research.  We tend to know and use large, corporate archival databases, from Early English Books Online to Eighteenth-Century Collections Online to, more recently, Googlebooks.  But what about those smaller digital archive collections?  Read my interview with K Cummings Pipes, creator of EvelynWhitakerLibrary.org, as she explains the value of small, open-access archival collections for scholarly research today.

Join Dee Morris, Teresa Mangum, and Jacob Horn as they discuss how to use a wiki in the humanities classroom.  As part of a video interview series featuring University of Iowa faculty, staff, and students, this roundtable conversation will tell you how wikis can, among other things, "take poetry out of the ivory tower and back into the culture." (Dee Morris). 

This podcast interview features Cathy N. Davidson (Duke University) and David David Goldberg (UCHRI), who discuss "The Future of Thinking:  Learning Institutions in a Digital Age."  Their conversation focuses on how and why to reform higher education to take advantage of new ways of learning and thinking.   How do the structures of the contemporary university need to be changed for the digital future? What is the role of interdisciplinarity in the future of thinking? And how do assessments and evaluations need to change to address the features of a changing digital landscape?  This interview is a must-read for anyone who uses digital tools in the classroom.

What are some of the most innovative, collaborative projects taking place in the digital community?  Join Peter Levesque, Bob Ketner, Maureen Clemmons and Radha Nandkumar as they discuss fresh ways of thinking about community collaborations in a digital age.

How do the digital humanities impact historical-based scholarship?  Hear from Laura Ives, Betty Joseph, Lisa L. Moore and Laura M. Stevens about ways to teach and research 18th- and 19th-century British women writers in the digital age.
