The term “Digital Humanities (DH)” suggests a sub-field of the humanities that makes the ideal utilisation of digital media, as well as the practices and instructions that are naturally associated with it, to explore a broad spectrum of topics. This sub-field is fast developing an increasingly significant sphere of academic research. The conversion to digital has brought about a considerable transformation to several underlying library services, and one of the most fundamental examples of a field where a basic foundation of digital skills can be used to promote the development of an emerging discipline is the field of digital humanities. In the past, only a few studies on digital humanities were conducted. There was a disparity in the amount of research done on the role of librarians concerning digital humanities libraries. This article presents a comprehensive review of previous literature on “Digital Humanities and Libraries,” which included contributions from a diverse range of authors. These factors include the origins and history of DH and libraries, as well as the current state of DH and libraries. The theory and concepts of digital humanities as a field of study are examined, as well as the potential mapping of these theories and concepts to traditional university library collections and services. The research concluded that effective cultural heritage digital initiatives are best carried out through the formation of constructive partnerships between DH scholars and community groups.

Digital Humanities (DH) is an emerging academic discipline that helps to provide solutions to problems of humanities and social sciences through computational techniques. It is the result of the convergence of digital technologies with social sciences and humanities. The libraries now have the responsibilities of planning, designing, and developing digital content, digital preservation, and digital archives to preserve the historical humanities and archaeological resources. Libraries have played a crucial role in the development of DH1. It is inspiring that library professionals are now wanted to engage with digital humanities actively2. DH is one of the key research areas of the library profession and can integrate with library technologies and methods such as knowledge organization, knowledge management, search and retrieval design, user education, metadata, semantic mapping, ontology, thesaurus construction, digital curation, discovery services, etc. which finds application in DH. Libraries support the digital humanities more explicitly in digital scholarly publishing, digital libraries, digital collections, text mining, and digital pedagogy

Digital humanities have become a more relevant field of study due to the extraordinary growth in digitisation of the humanities data. Due to collaborative development of humanities and computing, many academics are convinced of the worth of digital humanities (DH) that actually provides the best insight into humanities studies. The panoramic view of the development of big data in humanities reflects its trendy directions and evoked new challenges in DH. It is complicated to analysed the objectives of digital humanities data with simple data analysis tools where as text mining can help to facilitate the qualitative findings in DH. In the humanities disciplines, data is often in the form of unstructured and text mining is a way of structuring and analysing digitised text-as-data. Twitter is a online social networking platform which offers an opportunity for quality information sharing, collaborative participation digital humanities community. This paper is attempted to study the extensibility of digital humanities on twitter and also to interpret the evolution of twitter usage by analysing tweets posted related to DH via python data analysis.

Advancements in digital technologies have altered the way knowledge is captured, catalogued, indexed, accessed, and consumed in institutions across the world. Digital humanities have not only empowered the faculty members and researchers in the humanities departments, it has also entrusted with the librarians’ additional responsibilities of curating and cataloguing knowledge in their libraries and enabling humanistic researches in the field. Such curating, indexing, and consumption poses significant intellectual property right (IPR) issues that librarians have to manage. This article explores the IPR issues associated with the digital humanities that librarians should specifically address as part of their activities.

The study aims to determine students' perceptions regarding the blended mode of learning in the post-Covid era of Aligarh Muslim University. An online questionnaire was designed (Google form) with the help of previous studies and forwarded the web link through text messaging, email, WhatsApp, and Facebook. In total, 291 participants (undergraduate, postgraduate, and research scholars) filled out the online questionnaire. The result shows that the blended mode of learning is well accepted by the students, but when it comes to practical classes, this mode surely does not suffice. When it comes to the attitude of the students towards the blended mode of learning, the results suggest that most of the students are comfortable. Further, the blended mode comes with the complexities of e-learning and technical issues like poor internet connectivity, technical problems, limited internet pack, unorganised reading materials, etc., causing many difficulties in the overall learning process. This is the first study that assesses the students’ perceptions towards the blended mode of learning in Aligarh Muslim University. Its findings may be useful in developing new strategies for improving the learning environment in any academic institution.

The scientific tradition entails that any scientific work needs to be cited if it is responsible for the development of further another research work. This review article discusses the role of library professionals in promoting Reference Management Tools (RMTs) amongst the teachers, students, and researchers to maintain the scientific tradition of citation management. Among the various citation management tools available, four exemplary tools have been discussed briefly. The review of the literature revealed that the users have mixed responses pertaining to the use of RMTs. Especially; the common experience in respect of quality usage is very low. The users seemed to have limited themselves to make use of RMTs for reference management instead of exploring all the options associated with it. An attempt has been made to highlight why and how librarians should promote RMTs in the academic environment. Since librarians are considered experts in the field of reference management, they must grab this opportunity to strengthen the profession. The article urges the library professionals to get expertise in using RMTs so as to promote them successfully for academic writing and research activities.

The paper analysed 699 papers published in Library & Information Science Research (LISR) during the period of 1994-2020. Google Scholar was used to obtain the number of citations received by these papers until April 30, 2021. The study examined the geographical distribution of published articles and also identified prolific institutions and authors. The study examined the impact of output of countries, institutions and authors using citation per paper (CPP) and i-10 index as indicators of impact. The study also examined the pattern of growth and identified the highly cited papers. Based on the analysis of data it is observed that maximum articles were published during the three years block of 2015-2017. The geographical distribution of output indicates that 51 countries contributed the 699 papers. Highest number of papers was contributed by authors from the USA though it had a low value of CPP in comparison to Norway and Finland. Among the institutions, Florida State University (USA) topped the list. However, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, USA had the highest value of CPP. During the period of study, 1,389 papers received 74,061 citations, of which only 41 (3 %) articles remained uncited.

Technological advancements and open educational resources (OER) together have opened up wider opportunities to access globally created educational resources by anyone across the globe. A paradigm shift has been witnessed in the format of learning resources, their access methods, and the medium of delivery of the knowledge content. The findings of this research reveal that the academic community of central universities (CU) of North India is well aware of open educational resources. E PG Path Shala is the most popular and most widely used, followed by NPTEL and YouTube. The majority of users use OERs as and when they require them. The purpose of using OERs for the majority of respondents is to prepare class notes. Most of the faculty and research scholars use OERs to improve their professional competency. The majority of respondents desired that the institutions should provide free internet/Wi-Fi on campus and should also provide regular updates about OERs.

Several studies have highlighted the critical role of academic digital libraries in providing research support services and improving research performance. Although several studies have discussed the value of realizing this role, a business model that can serve as a reference in carrying out this role is not yet available. This research aimed to propose a business model and a prototype design for Indonesia’s academic digital library for research support services. A focus group discussion was conducted involving nine experts to identify the key factors. They were then mapped onto a Business Model Canvas. The key activities in the business model guided the requirements gathering for developing a prototype. The requirements were obtained from the literature reviews with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) method. The requirements were validated by interviewing library managers, research unit managers, and information technology managers. This research resulted in the academic digital library Business Model Canvas and the proposed prototype design, which consisted of a mobile application for member users and a back-office application to manage services by librarians. Further research on prototype implementation testing and the development of a successful implementation model is needed to strengthen this research.
