| More than ever, humanities instructors must demonstrate they are preparing students with valuable skills to enter the workforce. How can your library help bridge this gap to workforce readiness? By emphasizing digital humanities (DH) research methods, bringing computational approaches to traditional humanities fields.
To observe the impact of digital scholarship on student job readiness, Dr. Sarah Ketchley, Gale’s DH instructional advisor, conducted a course module this spring at the University of Washington. She closely documented student experiences and skill development with using Gale Digital Scholar Lab, the cloud-based text-mining and visualization tool.
Read this article to discover her findings, including three key takeaways: - A key use case for any librarian interested in expanding access to DH—or anyone simply curious about how DH can enhance student success
- Insights for using DH methods in a classroom setting, with tools like the new collaboration feature Gale Digital Scholar Lab: Groups
- What workforce-ready skills students developed while using DH tools
